In a word.... Yes
I first thought that the front of the gearbox (as it sits in the car) would have to be filed down to let it sit over the 'T' peice but it doesn't, which leaves the bottom of the case sitting above the chassis a touch. If I did file it down, the motorplate would foul the T peice & it would lower the shock mount, all by the same amount. The only adjustment I needed to do was trim the tower a 'smidge' for the gearbox to slide cleanly into it (where the long bolt goes through) & i'm going to have to shave off 1mm or so off the motorplate mounting face, to get the gearbox screws to reach/avoid fouling of the slipper plate & to get the brass angle to line up with the fixing hole in the chassis.
My gearbox is one of the first made so i'm guessing some alterations have been made? The last two alterations would have to be done in order to fit it into either the AC or PSI cars, so seem like teething problems from the first batch. Once these are addressed it would be a direct fit into a CR2
