MIP changebox information

[JK Racing]

So wandering the swapmeet this weekend, happened upon a neon yellow MIP changebox...but no diff gear.

Did it use the standard Stealth gear (like RPM) or a MIP specific unit (I did see a picture of a NIP one, it had a diff gear in there...so not too confident about the purchase now).

what scr8p says

[scr8p]

the mip change box used a larger mip diff and idler gear, with a stock associated topshaft, to gain the 2.61 ratio.

the idlers are fairly easy to find. they pop up on the bay quite often. i can't say that i've ever seen a diff gear for sale, though. but i'd bet if you posted something in the wanted forum, someone here has one they don't need.

I gotcha...I have to try on my own for a quick minute first!!

JK, the MIP diff gears are the same tooth count as the current B4/T4 diff gears, just narrower. I'm sure someone here has one they can measure (my stuff is at my parents house). IIRC, it's not a whole lot, just needs a light skim on either side.

I will try the diff gear trick...

Did they ever come in neon yellow? If it was dyed, they did an excellent job!

Pic doesn't work, but I believe it only came in yellow, so it's probably dyed.
