They are chocolate mate, I had 3 gearboxes in my old uk turbo.

Best of getting a good secondhand one.

You could probably get it repaired @ API

Or buy a good secondhand one, just one of those things mate.

When i bought the car, gearbox went...my replacement box is on the way out now...think its due to the running bhp...a stronger box would be an idea but dont know which one...6spd route too expensive

You could try a newage gearbox from a blob or hawk, make sure you get the matching rear diff! To be honest 6 speeds can be got cheap if you're quick!

The 54 box is the stronger one, it's the 52 that's weaker. Tbh it's how you use it or past life that breaks it.
If it is there's no point in getting another 54 then. 6 speed is only option left.
You sure it's not your diff?

al222

I will have a look.thanks

al222

is the diff in the same unit as the gearbox?
