if you put a vts gearbox in a vtr what would the outcome be - faster accel or higher top end?

ummm i think they're ok, although it was my mate who fitted it for me so i cant be 100%, however he fitted it all back on how the old box came off so i cant see thats anything is wrong.....

Can anyone think of any reason why this might happen other than the gearbox being f*cked?

I have been told the gearbox is knackered but i want to elimiante any other possibilities before i contac the peron i bought it from

thanks
