Mark H

They are not that different. Yes, most engine parts are non-interchangable, but the gearbox bolt pattern is the same. A VR V6 box will bolt into a VS (or later), but it is electrically different and will not shift properly. If you swap the val |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |
