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!!
