hi all, im thinking about changing my F20 gearbox for a F16.
My question is, would i need to change the flywheel or clutch to be able to fit the F16? Im thinking that it will just bolt straight on and replace the F20 but just want to make sure before i buy another box.
thanks in advance

depends on what f16

long ratio is poo
short good on the strip but will rev about 5-700 rpm higher than the f20 on the motorway

thanks for info guys. So F16 short ratio box it is then!
I see your point about motorway driving, but its more of just a weekend car so not much motorway driving/long distances will get done. I also wanted to have some good track days and ive heard the F16 is better suited for track... I will soon find out anyway :)

I just replaced a F16 long ratio with an F20, the car is much much better now with the F20.
