Hahaha, got it in one
I'm fairly sure everything is looking positive so far. Managed to double confirm that the new Gearbox definitely has an LSD on it - Torsen Type B which is exactly what I was afterLooking forward to seeing how well it affects the handling as the car was pretty good before hand.
What kind of horsepower does you MG have?
Drive with caution until you get used to it, especially on braking and acceleration through tight bends and speeding through roundabouts, :eek you will have to modify your driving style a little, but the reduction in torque steer will be a great help.
Have fun, don't forget to let us know how you get on. [/quote]
It's the 2.5 litre V6 (MG ZS 180) but outputs circa 174hp according to the likes of Parkers ( http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/fa...001/21449/ )
People have mentioned about how much difference an LSD makes but I really don't know what to expect... I would have thought it would make the car easier to control...
The torque steer on it before hand was a bit of a nightmare
Especially if you just planted your foot to the floor :evil :evil :lol [/quote]
You may find you will be over correcting the steering until you get used t the LSD, mainly because of the lack of torque steer. The power should be transmitted cleaner to the wheels and can catch you by surprise powering through bends :eek Without the LSD when one wheel spins it kills the power transmission a little. You may get some understeer on wet roads as both wheels spin, break traction and the car wants to go straight on. Just be wary, but it will definitely be better overall
