Well as I love doing balls out launches in my escort cossie (and 450 BHP) its not surprising
that the gearbox needs replacing nearly every year.


I have condsidered getting an uprated box which is about 3000 pounds but
that equates to 6 normal brand new boxes
from ford but I will carry on for now destroying the standard ones.
I know this is a false economy versus reliablity but a recent turn of events has spooked me a bit.

A friend of mines car with such an uprated gear box that has has little
hard use from new keeps breaking just as much.

(this time I drove it and it broke - oops sorry)

I dont want to mention who or what gearbox he has but just wondered if
anyone else has had the same experences.
