yes as u need to make a spacer or somthing, as the lickage hit the bulkhead or somthing (as never done one/even looked), BUT supose PVD sell this spacer u need.

don't you need a different cluch plate as well? i thought the F-28 spline is a different size to the F-13?

would be good to know the outcome tho

Don't forget, the F28 box was designed around 204Bhp and lots of low down torque which I would have thought is a long way off a diesel engine so you may find that your car struggles with the F28.

There are slight differences in price for various reasons, but M Tech will not sell parts direct in the UK - PVD are the sole importers.

J100 - that might have been the case a while ago, but since February we are the sole UK distributors.

Kris - No problems at all, either drop me an email or give us a shout with your questions!

The F28 is much heavier than the F20, F16etc, Its also very expensive.

Unless you are going to have over 200ft/lb's of torque I would recomend an F20.
