Fully open rear port to the brake master cylinder area which is open to the top. I had someone ask for a inverted scoop for that too so that'll be a future scan/print project.

I have two trannies: A) Factory 6-speed manual with LSD, B) Factory 6-speed manual non-LSD

A has 125,000 miles; B has 75,000 miles.

What are the caveats, nuances and "Gotchas" in this transplant?

I'd appreciate any insight, advice, information. ]]> Drivetrain (Cooper S) bahman https://www.northamericanmotoring.com/forums/drivetrain-cooper-s/373846-transplanting-lsd.html
