Has anybody had one of these gearboxes if so any good ? The gears in my standard box are fooked so thinking about up grades ! Any advice welcome.

 

what power & torque do you have?

 

i dont think quafie have good a good reputation for the gearkits in T5's

 

460bhp near 400 torque

 

to be honest a standard rebuilt t5 should be able to cope with that

 

Isn't there a..........big tooth kit available from reyland? If not i'm sure he can sort out the appropriate gear set or box for that kinda power/torque.

 

Very slow gear change but can handle the power ok.

 

I have around £1500 to spend on a box ,or i will pay top money for a mint T5 box !

 

i fitted a big tooth kit to mine,bit slow on gettin from 2nd to 3rd,other than that its been spot on,my gears were knackered as well and i wanted something that would take a bit of stick , kit was in around 1k ,then fitting, good value for money imo

 

Was that the quaife kit ? Who did the rebuild for you.

 

i would fit a tko box like rods , quaife are not the best gear kits

 

yes the quaife kit, bought it from cts, built by myself and a mate,cunt of a job tbh,but so far so good

 

I have a standard T5 in mine thats had a refurb and all is fine with over 500bhp. Tko is the best option but will deffo be over £1500.

 

I would buy a tremec box like Rod uses. Fit and forget - wont break

 

my 3dr was running 400 bhp and 400lb/ft and i never broke my box despite it being knackered - it took all the abuse I could throw at it (and that wa a lot of abuse) and it never broke.

changing gear quick was a pain in the ass tho

 

You think so?

Mine isn't any worse than normal i'd say!

I have a quaife kit with longer 1st-4th gears. Pulling away from a t junction with long gears an a r+d plated diff s "interesting"

 

How much for the tko box ?
