How long will the Gear box last? (1999 uk 365ft/lb)
Hi, I just need some info on standard gearboxes please 
How long will the Gear box last on a 1999 uk classic with 345bhp/365ft/lb?
1-Whats the standard uk gearbox rated at?
2-How can you tell if the gearbox is on the way out?
3-How much is a standard replacement gearbox?
4-How much is a uprated gearbox?
5-Are there many people running big torque on standard box?
5a-How long have they been running with that amount of power?
Cheers

Prob about the same for a 5 speed rebuild with decent hardened gear set

to be honest I would imagine there are plenty of people running more than you with standard boxes from what I have read on here with peoples claimed power outputs, it depends on how you treat it ie fast shifting things like that etc.

Cheers guys.
Im asking all these questions because theres a car that Im thinking of buying but Im being put off slightly by the fact that its torque is quite hi and it will probably need a new gear box soon and thats another 2k on top of what the cars worth.
Does anyone know of any decentent places I could call to get a price on a strenthened box?

1. There is no absolute figure. Above 300ft/lbs of torque and you are pushing it
2. It may whine a little before going bang.
3. About £500
4. About £1500 for a 6 speed or £3k for an uprated 5 speed.
5. More break than last
6. Mine lasted a couple of months at 340/340
What is your cars spec? What RR did you use?
