Building your own stage 1 RST gearbox...
Hi guys does anyone have any pictures/info on the above? as i have heard you can fit the bearings from a mk5 Escort to the LSD cvh gearbox?
From reading posts on here the difference between a CTS stage 1 box and standard RST box is uprated bearings?
I may be wrong, but would like someone in the know to correct me if i am, as its something id be interested in doing.
If so is it a hard job for someone whos pretty confident with the spanners? or should it be left to the pros?
Many Thanks Adam.

10K+ Poster!!
There's a thread on here somewhere iirc with step by step photos rebuilding one of these gearbox's.
If the search function wasn't so shit you might stand a chance of finding it!

Im in two minds about rebuilding it again with different ratios or just fitting an MTX75.

think so. i got a rebuilt escort mk6 diesel box from ebay. will put the gears from the puma when i get time.
if you have a zvh, think you can use a ib5 with the starter at the rear

Whilst the 1.7 Puma 1st and 2nd gears are very similair to the S2 RST 3rd 4th and 5th are closer and not really suitable for a FI car IMO (encourages wheelspin), my choice would be a non PAS 1.3 Ka gearset.

S2 RST
