If your box is healthy and you drive with mechanical sympathy, there is no reasons your box shouldn't last. Mine has been at that level for best part of 3 years now. It's torque that kills boxes not bhp, btw.

If yours does let go, then the best option probably would be a 6 speed, yes.

if it does let go i will get the 6 speeder, prob be cheap to.

6 speed or ppg, i went ppg route cos i love the whine hehe, but does cost more than the 6 speed conversion. also some folks can't get on with the ratios of the 6 speeder

I wouldn't replace it until, and if it lets go.
Used to have a my99 uk runniing 343 of torque for nearly 2 years without anyproblems

Whats the problem with them, would a ppg kit and keep my 5th be better. Just sean some youtube vids dont like the ppg sound like its in reverse all the time

BIG FUD

Thats because they are straight cut plnty of noise hellicoil not much noise at all u can get ppg makes hardly any noise very slight wine in low gears

440bhp/ 370 torque - so far, so good on a 5 speed here ( what's the emoticon for holds breath / crosses fingers behind back whilst touching my lucky rabbit's foot?)

Tidgy

yup, helical or strightcut are options, as i understand it helical is also slightly noisier than standard (although never heard one and only going on what i was told at the time of upgrade last year)

as to wether you like the noise, its an each to there own thing, i love it

Tidgy

i was told helical is still abit whiney but no where near as much, although never heard one just what i was informed.


personaly i love the sound, but its an each to there own thing.

also bear in mind you can have a uk 5th gear put in to keep the noise levels quiet for cruising on motorways

Tidgy

have been told helical is still abit whiney, although never heard one so only going on what i've been told.

i love the sound, but its def an aquired taste. also i have a uk5th in it to keep motorway quiet.
