Check out David Wallis's project thread from a while ago, he documented this.

Think it was fairly OK, changing some electrical wiring loom, linkage bits, maybe mounts, but no cutting floor AFAICR.

 

Myk on here popped a 6 speed gb in his classic. Send him a PM

 

Pretty easy to do, put a 6 in a classic about 6 times now, depends on what age your classic is, as to how easier it is.

 

What's the going rate for a good s/h box??

 

They seem to be going for about 2k

see API

 

interesting
after my recent mods my oo classic could be around the 330bhp and possibly more torque once mapped by 'bob'
also using organic clutch,5.7 kg flywheel and lighter flywheel
so,im expecting of aggro with the standard box which has now done 45,000 miles

could be on the look out for 1 soon,,,but hopefully not too soon,lol

 

my car is a my95 i can get a complete 02 import sti covered 28000 km cheaper than the box on its own so i might have some parts for sale if i win the car

 

I'd be interested to hear from where you can get a complete 02 STi car for £2K.
