Edge Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 Let me know. Was just ran off the rd by a damn Volvo and hit a curb. Gearbox now has a hole. :/Crap, that really sucks... I hope you got the license plate of the Volvo so it can be pursued by both law and insurance. I don't have a gearbox to offer, I just wanted to make sure you knew that the manual gearbox changed from the pre-refresh R53s (2002-2004) to the refreshed R53s (2005-2006 and also 2007-2008 R52 S convertibles). I don't know if they are interchangeable (they might be!), but the gearing ratio changed with the refresh - it was made shorter, for better acceleration... but that also means higher RPMs (mostly noticeable at highway speeds). Just a heads up. You can look up all of the part numbers at www.realoem.com.

Rchitct Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 Sorry to hear about the incident. Glad to see that you are ok.
3LUEOX Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Posted June 29, 2016 Thanks. Found a gearbox last night and picking up shortly. Sucks to spend money on something that is not for performance. [emoji53] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 04R53

Sporkeh Posted June 30, 2016 Report Posted June 30, 2016 The bright side is that without a bumper, your car weighs less!
