Spec - 97 UK spec running 330 bhp/330 torque

i only use the car @ the wk ends

any advice/help or suggestions wud be greatful

Thanks

 

API? They just rebuilt mine.

 

Whats the kind of cost of a rebuild ?

 

expensive

 

3rd went on my classic, scoobyclinic fixed with new clutch for just over 1k

 

You can pick up a secondhand box in good nick for anywhere around £250.

Have a look in the FS section, place a thread in the 'wanted' section and try ebay.

If you want something stronger you will be looking at around £1500 for a 6 speed or a fair bit more for PPG.

 

tbh at that power your gonna kill a standard box unless yoru carefull, 330ftlb is right at the upper limit of a uk box, only real option to keep it for any length of time is 6 speed or ppg

 

+1

 

Is that a guess or are you doing my quotes for me these days?
