Does anybody know if the FZQ gearbox will be the same as the O2M one? I haven't had time to check if it has the black cover. 2004 LCR

Just done this today
It was whining like a bitch in 3rd before
Now it is silent! Good as new!
This should be a sticky
Tip. Put finger in shaft and pull towards you whilst removing circlip. Comes straight off

Finally got round to doing this. I was suffering clutch creep, a squeak on down shifting to 5th, whining and struggling to select gears. This little beauty literally takes 30 min to do and has cured all of it!! Total transformation! Thanks for letting us all in on this tully..

Just three matt_s. It's a doddle getting the splash guard off, but to be fair even easier because my engine cover has already gone in the bin so that made it easier for me

Splash guard loosen of a couple of under tray bolts towards the front to help removal. I even loosened some arch liner torx screws to help.
There is also a torx screw holding the splash guard toward the rear of the undertray. Then a couple of screws holding it to the under tray. Then it's pull and twist carefully to get it out.

I have tackled this today and can say it definitely works and I have no 3rd gear whine. For the sake of £10 and a couple of hours its worth it!
I have an 05 cupra r, will I have the 02m gearbox??
I would check myself but it's in the garage with a bent conrod .

I would have thought so mate, if it has the black cap on the side of the gearbox then all good
just had this done on my 05 LCR today, I don't have the tools etc to do it myself so got the garage to do it, they charged £65 + vat which is an hours labour....
Took it for a 20 minute spin around the block and gear selection definitely feels more positive and (maybe placebo but..) it also feels to me like it's smoother onto and off the power, where it felt a bit jolty on lift off before. Hard to fully make a judgement after 20 mins town driving in the rain but seems like a worthwhile improvement so far.

It'll sort out that whine in 3rd if nothin else! Glad I did mine and still no whine and more solid gear changes a fair few hundred miles later
