rs2 gearbox pros v cons

[andyg plym]

my s2 avant came to me with an rs2 box. If i remember right the 1st gear is stronger? im sure ive read its a generally stronger box also.
one thing that is odd is the inspection hole on the top left of it,ive seen other rs2's and they are all the same. When i had a leaky rocker cover the oil would seap down into the box and on to the clutch
also the car came with a 3b flywheel and rs2 clutch,will the clutch be mega bucks?

The flywheel is different on RS2, dual mass, so I doubt you have an RS2 clutch

I would guess it is a 3B clutch setup

this website has very good info on the 01E http://www.elektro.com/~audi/01E/
are the ratios different between these boxes??

this is my 3rd s2 now. the ratios dont seem to feel different from my old coupe aby. 70 mph is about 2800rpm iirc.
my favourite was my old 3b s2 with 5 speed,1st gear seemed to break my neck!!
