The gearbox on my 1988 Turbo is getting progressively noisier with metallic pieces found during a recent oil change so am having thoughts on obtaining a replacement.
I am pretty certain that a re build would be prohibitively extortionate & probably not a viable cost effective option even if the parts were readily available
The box fitted has a 'UY' code & I believe that they were only fitted to 86 - 88 models, these occasionally come up for sale but I may not be able to wait that long .
Question is, would an S2 box be a suitable alternative replacement?
I know the purists would say fit an original UY code box but if there are none available could this be an option to at least keep the car on the road ?
