Okay so first of all i've seen FL into PFL auto boxes but i have the other way around

So my gearbox died in my 98 FL Vr4 Legnum
I have found a gearbox after afew weeks of searching but its from a 97 PFL legnum is there much difference between the 2 and what do i need to know, i've searched around abit but not to much luck.

When you put a FL gearbox into a PFL you have to leave the speed sensor on the output shaft disconnected since the FL gearbox doesn't have one.
That would mean your FL loom might be missing the connector needed.

Then again it is possible that the speed sensor is only used for the speedo and your FL dash will continue to work as normal with just the input shaft sensor. I'm not sure though.

You need to check out your gearbox model code. On PFL there was two options - W5A51-3-E6A on early cars, and then W5A51-3-E6B on late PFL and early FL cars. From 1999 comes W5A51-3-EZB.
If you have E6B and changing it to E6A, then no problem, you need just E6A TCU (it comes in steel body, then later version was in plastic).
