FN2R Gearbox suited for Kswap?

[ish_crx]

I have been advised that the K20 Gearbox from an FN2R is not suitable for a Kswap applications as they case have different mounts. Can someone please confirm this?

hmmm I think I have the FN2R box in my car
any way to check?

Yeah i believe they are mounted differently

mmm pretty sure they are the same gearbox casing
you are changing the mount when you do a k-swap anyway
might have to swap the shifter mechanism depending on what shifter box you are using
and install the VSS gear on the diff, but AFAIK the mounting points on the case is the same.

The outter casing is different. So no you cannot use em. But you can use the internals of the box i.e gears/finaldrive/LSD and etc.
