gearbox
 

i know this isnt the write room for this but im desprete need for a gearbox can ne 1 help??

Mk1 or 2

I have none spare but there is a mk1 breaking on ebay, see ebay thread.

MKI G-box is fine just make sure you get the prop with it

is that a 100% that a mk 1 box will fit?? obv if i use the prop??

just rung up its in scotland n he wants £125 for just the box er no

Not got any decent box rebuilders near you??

yer but its taking it out n losing the car for a few days + i putin my s13 lump in soon so i only changin for peace of mind as the lay shaft is makin a lovery wining noise lol

the mk1 box isn't as strong as the mk2 so if ur putting decent power in it i'd stick to the mk2 one! i'm gettin 1 one off Jeff at GBH Motorsport, I'll ask him when he's in if he has another 1 spare!

put a s13 box in

I think that's a bit of an old wives tale tbh, both Shauns old Blue cars box and the one in Jon's old MKI have had shnizzle kicked out of them buy 300+ BHP engines and they are still going strong. Every time I've seen people requesting a replacement box they are always MKII owners, including the one replaced in the Jackie/reaper MKII project car. Does anyone actually know of a MKI box that let go on someone?

S13 box is probably easier to get hold of, but it requires modification of the transmission tunnel and probably a some fiddling with the prop. If you're desperate then get what ever comes your way then have your spare rebuilt for peace of mind, drop the DET in and enjoy!! :D

my 1st mk1 ended up with a very noisey 1st 2nd and 3rd! my second mk1 box threw 2nd gear! maybe its just my gentle driving style :D
