Yes! cheaper option just buy/fit good second-hand 5 speed box.


put lead boot in bin

 

Hi mate. Thanks for reply. How do I know which box to get. I keep reading about the ratios have to match the diff. I'm unsure what will fit etc. My car is a 1994 turbo 2000. Running 340 bhp

 

Look above the starter motor on the bell housing and with a bit of luck there will be a white sticker it'll be your gearbox code and you'll be able to work out your ratios from that. As long as there's been no surgery it should also be on strut top as well.

 

Thanks mate I will have a look.

 

In theory it should be TY572VN3BA

 

Thanks for replies I've just checked it's TY752VN3BA
so if anyone has one for sale I'll have it haha
