Itll fit straight on, ratios are different though.

[Saxon3011]

what will it do to my saxo wont ruin it or slow it down will it?

Hi Saxon,

As previously stated, ratios are different, you will lose some acceleration effort.

[Mr_P]

Will fit.

1st and 2nd are longer on the VTR box. 3rd, 4th and 5th should be the same. Final drives are the same.

[LeeM]

thought the gear clusters were the same and the fd was what made the final ratios different?

[Mr_P]

On some boxes yes. Not them two.
