Well my gear box shat it self on Friday got no drive at all there was a bang then it will only roll if the clutch is in but let the cutch out it sounds like a load of bricks in a washing machine even in neutral and idiling. fancy uprating the box a wee bit but don't want to pay the earth any suggestions for a different box that can be used with the s1 engine or different internals I can use any help appreciated

 

 

Thanks

Uprated boxs are available in ib5 format. The main weakness is the main shaft bearings which is what is uprated. There around £700 on exchange. Should be good for 250bhp. After that your into quife gear kits which will take 350bhp but add 2K to the price.

 

Standard gearboxs cope quite well up to the 200bhp mark and are prity cheap. All depends on your power output and how harse you drive it lol
