Default best gearbox to go for?

hi, after spending loads rebuilding my engine last month, i dont think the gearbox is gonna survive much longer after it gets setup by APT on saturday gonna be running 20 psi,

is fitting a MT75 box hard? or is there a better box, mine isnt whining at the mo, but wanna see what my options are, havent got much cash left so i cant afford much more than 400 quid!.

Speak to jano, he has put together a conversion kit for the mt75 box.

Seen him putting it together it looks good.

The MTX75 imo is THE best choice for the FWD ZETEC 16v ZVH AND CVH.

It can be used in many other cars sum are not even FORD

2 piece shafts will work fine as the std item is, or you can have the 3 piece which will reduce the amount of tourque steer and also help to put the power down.

I have a guide to the conversion here that may help you:-
