its been rebuilt once, the casing is fucked me m'8 hlpd me 2 take it out and when he lifted it out he dropped from a gr8 height tryin 2 be clever and smashed all the casing when i took it to commercial-propshafts the said the layshaft was twisted and whoever rebuilt it didn't replace the right bearings and the one's he did were wrong........
cowboy outfit i think.
the teeth on 2nd were sheared.

must av driven it like a bastard !!!! i hate people who dont appreciate modern history ha ha ha how much do u think im gna hav 2 pay. i dnt hav an exchange now !!! sold it to commercial props' for £ 50 he wanted gthe internals.

Mustve dropped it from quite a height

Give GEARS a ring and see how much, be prepared for a shock because theyre gonna add a surcharge whatever the price is (about £500) if you havent got a box in exchange

The only other thing i could suggest (though i wouldnt recommend it) is to get a good second hand S1 RS turbo box, and get someone to machine a hole for the flywheel sensor in the bellhousing, but it'll have to be spot on other itll never run

If its running on a dizzy and coil you can fit an S1 gearbox in and it'll still run, but the Twin coil setup is way better than the dizzy
