Just out of interest, and why I'm contemplating it... Whats the difference between an M56 and an M66?... (besides the extra gear).. Does the M66 have any sort of LSD in it?. I'm trying to decide what could have been causing the noise in my car before I took it apart, as I don't really want to strip the gearbox down I've decided that the best course of action would be to eliminate/swap out anything that could be related. So gearbox, flywheel and clutch. As my R has the lovely Viscous LSD I dont really want to just chuck it and fit a standard box, so would the M66 have one fitted as standard? and would my driveshafts etc all fit ok?

Bugger, not really worth bothering then. I was just hoping to find something that had an LSD or other type of Viscous Diff fitted as standard. The chances of finding another Manual V70R gearbox are slim to none existant
