would be intrested in people current view on the boxes to use as mine is hanging lol
1st time it went I lost 5th gear as that is where they all go as there is less oil getting to it. Then again I lost 5th again and last time just before I broke it I lost all gears that the was the nail the coffin and broke me cabrio as the gear box went again 
got it rebuilt and it has just sat in my s2 waiting for it new engine i did have the offer of my bros ib5 box which is better and bigger gears over my old bc box should of pull he’s arm off but I don’t think my box will hold up very long in my car my bros ib5 stage 2 + lasted about 3 years iirc in hes zvh my old engine lol it blow up once he had run in he’s zetec and went for an mtx much easier in an mk5 escort lol
