hi marco
must be something else wrong as gt4 boxes are well know for being strong and reliable, no one has any probs other than worn synchros at high mileage. Fensport cars were still running completely std boxes and diffs at 600bhp, he's only just now found the limit of the box.
st205 is the one to go for, std cars gave 250bhp and 5.7s to 60mph. 1/4m in about 13.9-14.2s. you can get 300bhp with a decat downpipe, filter and exhaust at 1.1 bar boost. mine runs mid4s 0-60mph and 100mph in 11.7s. excellent cars.
