its for sale, i was under the impression that the bearing had gone in the gear box which handles the gears which dont work, i could be complettley wrong and as previously mentioned on the thread may just be one gear need replacing.
if its just one gear or a whole box, its still a good deal ,

I'm interested, but am just wondering if there's any other weak points to the running gear etc due to the power? Forgive me, don't know too much about Scoobs (except that they're awesome 
)

It's a bloody bargain imho esp considering what's been spent to get it to almost 450hp - look at the parts & add up the cost. if I had £5k I'd buy it back.

My old car - it's a PPG straight cut gearbox (google it for more info) like the scoob rally cars of old so is very strong, people running big power either go 6 speed or this. Advantage of the PPG is that it's a lot lighter than the 6 speed. The straight cut gears 1 through 4 should be very strong, 5th was left standard to give a higher top end & indeed this is what most people do with it. As Banny says above a simple repair should only be a few hundred £'s ...

Banny, who would you suggest for the 5th gear repair, and what power is the PPG is question rated to? Ive heard to many folk reverting back to 6 Speed having owned PPG due to failures beyond 450-500bhp (the rated power output of these)

i know form first hand experience how much £££ it takes to get a classic into these numbers!

I've had to pull out of this, due to being an idiot and jumping in before I knew what numbers could be involved with a box rebuild.
