My gearbox is on the way out whats the best thing to do get it rebilld or get a p1 or sti box. got about £800 to play with and ive just had a new api clutch fitted
thanks
iain

 

P1/STi box isn't any stronger than the box you already have, just different ratios. Get your box rebuilt by a decent firm. UK box should be ale to put up with 300lbft of torque.

 

thanks for your reply. when i had the clutch fitted thay found big bits of metal in the oil now its getin noisy

 

A recon exchange box from us is £750.00 + VAT with a 6 months / 6000 miles warranty. If that helps. It'll take your level of power all day long.

David,

Can you just shed abit of light on what the STI Box can take without dangering it?? you hear lots of different stories about these boxes, for example, there,s one guy on here been running 370ft/lb through his for over 2 yrs,.

I guess it,s a case of how the driver threats it too??

 

David at api is your man matie.. give him a bell and he will be able to give you the best advice!

 

Id be happy enough for one of our TY754 5 speed boxes to run high 3's of power and torque.

Torque is the killer, anything above 400 ft lbs and you are on borrowed time.

David

 

You got any 6 speed boxes in yet David?

 

Nothing Ash, I have a damaged JDM one with a problem centre diff that I am waiting to find a sensibly priced centre diff for.

That's it and nothing on the horizon at the moment.

David

 

Ok thank you
