what i mean is,, your just lowering the life of the gearbox! what for? a tiny tiny improvement in stage time?
Gareth , a quicker gearchange is the most economical "tweek" that you can make , it costs virtually nothing if you look after the box and service it regularily . Imagine an engine or suspension upgrade to make up the same time !
Andy's correct the old RS 500's use a Getrag Gearbox , basically a BMW motorsport box with a longer bell housing , im sticking one back in my car until my X-trac box is ready .



I currently have a New Hewland 6 speed transverse 4wd box on my website , needs a case but spanking otherwise !
