It comes with rubber blocks that can be stacked. I would get an extra 3: if I used both sets stacked. I'm pretty sure the transmission would fit under the car without a problem.

MattO89 Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Bought my first Box (a 2003 S) back in September. Spent the last few days doing a major service, antifreeze flush, the off bit of waxoyling and swapping the existing backbox for a bypass one that I bought (from a fellow member) a few months back. A nice mix of preventative maintenance and increased enjoyment. Great to get to know the car - some different (tighter!) packaging to more run-of-the-mill stuff, but nothing fundamentally scary. And a serious amount of cash saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
