Any suggestions on who to do it ?

Costs ?

Steve

 

Barra can do it, not sure on the price though.

 

i think its roughly around the 350 mark.

why do you ask? Is it whining more than you do ?

 

After giving the car a good beating this afternoon the gearbox now whines more than me when im parting with money

Steve

 

fit a glebe box then you know what whining is all about lol

 

But i don't want it whining

Steve

 

STOP THE PRESS > You actually parted with some money

what about these jag boxes - im sure the Scottish guy had one - cant remember his name now they are cheap and strong too

 

Steve, but with the Glebe Box it's NOT A BROKEN whining....

 

Was a big tooth T5 on ebay for Ł750 the other day m8.

Steve

 

Steve, don't scare him anymore mate...

 

or pay 3k for my box and be done with it lol

 

Only a days overtime for a top train driver like our Steve

Steve

 

Kin hell ive just heard him faint and hit the floor and i'm thirty miles away.....call 999 quick.

Steve

 

I wish it was only a days overtime

One more payment on the loan and im Ł280.50p better off per month

Steve

 

Happy days then mate, save up and buy something properly i would Steve, this is a serious post by the way when i say that, obviously you've got afar bit of torque now so i;d get a better boxd, or get Quaife internals like Jim put in my old saff, that was fine...

 

Tremec box Steve. Like uncle Rod uses. Fit and forget. Costly but worth it.

 

Agree 100% Rich........

 

Fucking dear though Pete. Over Ł2k i think.

 

are the tvr t5 gearkits suitable im sure i heard ages ago people used to use these.. they sell new ones on ebay for Ł130.. ?

 

Steve, get this bought, fit/forget...............

Pete I was just going to put that link up for Steve but didnt want to be the one responsible for him fainting AGAIN

 

Its about Ł2000 more than i want to pay

Steve

 

ace gearboxes for about 450 exchange.

 

he has velcro lined pockets so its hard to get his wallet out

 

my T5 box was hanging when i sent it into BARA and i mean hanging jumping out of gears trying to into 2 gears at the same time and all the bearings were shot it cost me Ł510 but its now like new and dose wot it says on the tin the best Ł510 iv ever spent . And BARA said the TVR stuff is no good and allso dont forget the 5th gear has to be got of right as if it gets broke you then have big problems on your hands . just send it to BARA as yours is no as bad as my box was so should be a lot cheaper to sort it

 

Does Bara do an unprated gear kit that can take 475 ft/lb?

 

what about the jag boxes - what did that scottish guy run - Rapid i think his username was

 

Yes Rich, they call it Tremec or Glebe...

 

Euan (rapidcossie) had a jag/getrag 5 spd 265 I think, didnt break in his but didnt have a speedo drive either so was using gps for that.

 

was it one of these boxes?

what mods do you need to do to fit one?

 

How long ago was that?

Seems like a good price too.

 

I thought the T5 gearboxes were really strong.

 

There are Glenn to a point, but once you start edging to 400+ lb/ft they start to feel the strain, again if you're not a launcher etc you could get alittle more life-span from then..they tend to suffer obviously when you've got Richies kind of torque up near the 500lb/ft...

 

Thanks for the info.

 

That it is

Might give them a call

Steve

 

i had 400bhp/400lb/ft thru my gearbox and it never broke - was trying to break it for 5 years - the only issue with it was a 3rd gear synchro as could never change gear quick or gear down properly.

took the abuse perfectly fine - in fact i still have it in my mates garage

I would try and go for the Euan (rapidcossie) had as that is well cheap for the amount of power they can take.

 

Ran, sell it Steve then............

 

3rd synchro is fucked and we will never hear the end of it - i mean its bad enough his gearbox is whining now

PS> I may still need this year

 

That's also nice to know you had that much torque aswell Ran and it never died.... and i know how you've driven in the past....

 

Pate - i think the saving grace for my box was the wheelspin

but when it gripped
