Default Gearbox

Looking for a gearbox for someone as he is having problems coming down the gears so he wants a reconditioned box or a new box

He’s running around 220bhp now i run a mtx75 gearbox on mine and have had no problem with that and i could maybe get hold of one at a good price or would it be best just getting his old s2 box reconditioned?

i think you will need to modify the inner wings to fit the mtx box

You don't need anybody else . Bernies is the only box I've had in mine that's lasted. Even with my S2 chucking 260bhp at it and me being a hooligan it still hangs on in there

Fiesta box has no LSD. You really do want it in there to be honest or it all goes up in tyre smoke.

www.gearboxman.co.uk all the info you need should be there mate
