Just on my way back from tomos ford parts funnyly enough booting it away through second my box just made this hoooge grinding noise so i slowed down straight away and on slowing down it wacked and jearked few times while out of gear "if anyone knows why ???"
Ive got a few questions that hopefully some of you rs genius's would be happy enough to answer
How much will i expect to pay for a re-conned box ?
How much for a second hand box ?
and how does an xr3i box fair with a 200bhp rs ?
You see i wanna get the piece of shit back on the road asap and ive got a 1991 efi xr3i box to hand, whats the best way to go ?
Cheers
Sam

Cheers peeps, for the time being would i still be able to lay down some decent times without an lsd ? ive been told manyer time that the standard s2 lsd is shite anyway ?
To save me the hassle of taking the 3i box out will this fit straight on without any modification ?

just get an IB5 box from a zetec and fit the lsd on it, i done the conversion on mine, a reconditioned IB5,with my rst final drive and lsd, fitted at a garage, for Ł285, they supplied the box, i supplied the clutch, never gave me any problems or my mates rst,
we were both running over 200bhp for about year with no problems including many runs at santa pod, make sure u get the box which has the starter at the front of the box

I would not run an RST without the LSD. Loads of uncontrolled wheelspin.
Bernie i sthe man to speak to regarding gearboxes and I consider Ł500 for a box pretty cheap in the grand scale of things.
BUng a 3i one in for now and save as the 3i box won't last very long
