RS2 Tranmissions - CGR vs CRB

[UrS4boy]

My car 94 RS2 has CGR on the tag in the boot but the gearbox itself has CRB stamped. It came from the factory like this.

Are you the original owner? Unless you are, I suspect that the original transmission was a CGR but it failed under warranty and was replaced with the CRB before you got the RS2.

What was the build month? VIN SN000nnn? (PM me if you want)

My RS2 is a 95, built in 94. As Billman's it also has a CRB installed, despite the build tag listing CGR.
I have assumed that it was replaced sometime between 1995 and 2001 (when it was exported to Norway), but since Billman's had a CRB installed at the factory, despite the build tag saying somethinge else, it could well be the case for mine as well.

Thanks. Answered. Mid-Oct. 94 build so the CGR seems to make sense.

The end of Oct. 94 was 00794 so maybe if someone PMs me their VIN and the transmission code (from their build tag) for an RS2 just above the 00794 VIN, we might get lucky and find the Nov. 94 break-point on CGR to CRB.

That would be the dyslexia Just for you CRB ! DAVE

What are the last four numbers of your VIN (PM me if you want)?

Okay, I'm confused. Do you mean CGR or CRB? CBR is a Honda motorcycle IIRC.

Just checked a few of the RS2 build tags that I have done for people. It looks like the breakpoint betweenthe CGR vs CRB was somewhere between SN00063n and SN0009nn.

The 63n built in mid-Oct. 94 has the CGR and the 9nn built in early(ish) Nov. 94 has the CRB. Need more data to pin-point the change more precisely.

same here: '95 with CGR.

Build date or VIN number? SN00nnnn?

[UrS4boy]

the RS2 trans i had sent over was narrow first gear.....

Need more info. Do you have the SN of the tranmission, e.g. CGR 00nnnn?
