Not sure, possibly. The Mivec FTO is where the LSD came from. The thing is that even though it's coming from a V6, it's a different block that our V6's use. Could be identical, could be subtly different, could be totally different.

no it won't different clutch diameters - fto clutch is a recessed style smaller diameter

what about the FTO box using a magna bellhousing?

hey maybe your onto something there, just at my work we have half a dozen fto manual boxes

There is also the little issue of FTO being a push clutch, Magna being a pull clutch so no brackets or anything for it to fot up to.

Not saying it can't be done, but by the time you do the adaption, may as well stick with the magna box which has the correct ratios, is a stronger box and does bolt right up.
