Going in an FC
I believe it's a drop in for the S1's, just need to carry over the switchs

The end will be way more expensive though as all the custom adapters and such to get it to bolt up to the renni. Personally, I would just drop an S2 tranny in... 1st is really only the difference in terms of ratios....

Exactely.... what does a stock renni put down for torque? 125ft/lbs?  My Cosmo is making 330ft/lbs... it's not a weak tranny as most of them think and when I explain to them that they broke it when zero torque was being applied to it, IE Clutch disengaged, foot off the throttle, and that it was infact thier fault... well.. that never goes over well

Definitely... if you hear of an S2 trans for cheap... lemme know... I'll swipe it just to play with it... if it's all FUBAR'ed fitting into an FC chassis, I'll toss it in my 8 and have a 4th S1 trans in the basement
