i went to pick it up this morning but the lazy bastard was still eating his cornflakes at home

i was in the works van so i went to south end on sea to make a delivery and picked it up on the way back home

aparently im one of the rare people that has enough torque to pop a stg2 box so i took some advice and went to stg2+ with shot peened internals

i exhanged a wedge of money for my gearbox and i was on my way

chees for fixing it at sutch short notice

top fella would recomend to anyone

and i forgot what grade oil im supposed to put in it

i gota stop clicking thease damn smilies so much

 

you'll be happy with that box mate

 

I was up there this morning at 11am and Berni was just filling an S2 box with group A sawdust

 

whats a stage 2 plus box cost

im building a another erst again and i need a box that not gonna die


btw mine is more abuse than power,,,,,,, i seem to do 1 box every 10k miles



thats in my xr3i with a burnt valve too


ive done 5 boxes so far and not one of em have been turboed


well ive also got box problems with my cossie too,,,,, but thats just a bent fork and syncros

 

I must thank him too Called him on the Good Friday Bank Holiday for advice on a cluch problem, which he gave us help with, without any hesitation

 

me too

think you need to learn to drive then!

 

mate there just weak mate tbh as its always the layshaft bearing the fooks up and car locks up


but part of it is down to driving style,,,,,,,,, but not learning how to drive

 

yeah its dipping the clutch thats done it,,,,,,,, its driving style mate and old crappy boxes

 

Do you mean slipping the clutch, a la motocross bike style? If so at you

 

no i ment not dipping the clutch


its the abuse not the power that kills boxes,,,,,, some drive ham fisted ( matt bell i belive is one of em) and some change gear slower than my dad ( jim galbally,,,,,,,, i could change clothes between his gear changes )


if i was a little gentle then they would last longer


but as there sooo cheep to buy then i wont

 

slowing down with the gears is the biggest killer of em,,,,,,, and i do that WAY WAY WAY too much tbh
