gearbox problem#2.
Problem #1 was the cost Smile But I managed to convince myself to buy it.

Problem #2: its 45 kilos!!!

Problem #3 is the S15 does not have a speedo drive. On the S15, speed pulses are taken from the ABS sensor in the rear diff. One of the reasons why I brought the S15 box was I suspect it is capable of holding a Speedo drive of some sort.

As you can see there is a casting for the speedo hosing to fit and I assumed the it would align to the output shaft for a worm drive of some sort. I opened the rear housing but there is no worm drive or any grooves or dimples to hold one.

After further research, the J160 from (is200) seems to be the only AZ6 box that has a speedo drive gear - (I don't count the S2000 as that box looks vastly different). As the J160 speedo housing is interchangable with the W5* box, I will try use a W5* worm drive/housing to get a speedo mechanical drive.
