and then lsd works fine ? sounds like quite an easy mod to me. still learning a lot about mechanical side of things

it will be the best mod you ever did

ratios are a little different but when the m2a4 came off and the m2b4 went on OMFG!!!!!!

whole different lude! DO IT!!!!!!!!!!

and this is too cheap??? m2b4 goes for £350 all day long someone snap his ruddy arm off

Yeah simple swap mate, tbh tho if your doin the gearbox then fit a new clutch at least! IMO fit a flywheel too because they make a nice difference

my m2a4 had quite a long first, a short second, an endless third and forth and fifth was just a cruiser gear.
the m2b4 has a real short first a endless second, medium third and endless forth and fifth

i will never go back to non LSD

powering out of roundabouts is as good as Vtec

A4 and b4 ratios are the same.

I really must do some comparisons mph/rpm between my ukdm (non lsd) and jdm m2b4m...

sorry to fill your thread mate. do you need to drop the whole sub frame to change the box or can you get away with just 1 side, also what fluid does it take to fill it and how much? sorry for the questions just working out a price for my mechanical monkey to fit lol he looked on autodata and its about a 5 hour job
