Default IB5 Gearbox LSD HELP??!!

Hi, Ive got an IB5 gearbox in my s2 turbo, and the lsd has gone on it.

Could anyone give a list off all the cars that have a IB5 gearbox with an LSD in it, as i plan to get it, take it out and put it on my IB5, as it is uprated.

Heard some focus's and pumas have the IB5 but unsure if they have LSD.

I think they can be replaced with RST LSD's as I had an IB5 with a rear mounted starter motor which was fitted with an RST LSD.

Ive phoned around places and breakers, and the s2 gearboxes are quite pricey. Really just looking for a box i can get the cheapest possible, needing the car back asap and im quite short of cash just now
theres a box on ebay just now for 19.99 Buy it now, but unsure if it has lsd... its from a fiesta zetec. Any other cars that are known to have IB5 with LSD?

Only Escort RS turbos came with an LSD in B5/IB5 - apart from very few in some Racing Pumas (rocking horse shit).

i know someone in glasgow with a couple of s2 lsd units removed from boxes

as for ib5 with an lsd never heard of one fittted to anything as standard so might be best repairing your own box if its uprated

let me know if you want an lsd and get a hold of the guy and get one off him or put you in touch

As said, only a few Racing Pumas came with an IB5 with LSD's, as they were an optional extra, which very few people decided to pay extra for. If I were you, I would just stick a NON LSD gearbox in there for now as with 250 BHP you should be looking at at least a Stage 1 box I would think.

If the LSD from s2 turbo boxes do infact fit the IB5, then i'd be interested.
If you could, let me know if he'll sell and for how much? Thanks
