Yes almost certainly. The easy way to check is to compare type codes from the VIN plate. Yours will be TY752 VN *** I imagine and providing the numbers on whatever car you check it against are the same [ not simlar ] then it'll do fine.

If you need more help call me and l'll work it out for you.

Hi David

Thanks I thought they would be. The reason I ask is that I blew the gearbox up on my MY96 uk turbo2000. I have just had one fitted from an MY96 Mcrae edtion. But the car feels so much better! The front end seems more planted than before??? The acceleration seems more violent??

I was just wondering if my gearbox was more badly worn (front diff and coupling) than I thought and if that would explain the way the car feels?

I was expecting to get the car back the way it was so this was a pleasant surprise to say the least!
