Wanted: RS2 Gearbox

[HPmuirt]

As the title says, I have a standard S2 ABY gearbox with a very noisy first gear so whilst the box will have to come out, it is the time for an upgrade upgrade. I would consider a late S2 box but prefer the idea of an RS2.

Someone must have one for me....just gathering dust, looking for a new home

there was one on piston heads a while back si
but i think he wanted nearly 2k for it

Have you tried Sal?

late S2,s and RS2,s have the same box. think its called CGR... it´s the one with the wide firstgear sprocket.

Hence saying I would consider a late S2 box, but didn't the RS2 have the flexi shaft AND the wide first gear?

As for Sal, nope, I have begged him for an RS2 box and RS2 downpipes every time I have seen him for the last 6 months, but the slippery little ****** keeps saying no

I obviously need to spend more time in Birmingham until I can find something to blackmail him with

Correction, the RS2 has a flexible shaft and wide 1st gear in it and the box was called CRB

The late ABY is called CGR with wide 1st gear but no flexible shaft.

Flexible shaft ?

Where is that and why is it allegedly any better ?

What about going for a B5 S4 'box?

[S2_Dave]

ABY with CGR from 77644 onward also had a flexible shaft. First gear p/n: 01E 311 105 H, same as CRB.

I have no idea, 4WheelDrifter was ceratinly looking at fitting the S4 box to his, not sure if he did in the end but he'll be able to fili n the blanks.

Where mate? That website shows the wide 1st gear but no reference to flexible shaft?

I'll have to dig out the reference from the forum

It does..... it says H-denotes wide, flexible shaft

[A80Avant]

isnt there a way to convert the early CGR gearbox to RS2 one?

When I get a chance I'll find the site that says the reverse.
