R+D are a company modifying gearboxes yes but they offer a range of aplications.
uprated group N or dogboxes.

6 speed dogbox is about Ł7000 new or about Ł4000 second hand,their aftersales service is terrible and the plastacine in most of their boxes reacts badly with the chewing gum and can cause failiures,however the no nails that they use should last for at least three clutchless gearchanges.

range from Ł5,000 - Ł12,000.
the 6 speed is the one to have with handbrake release.

my r+d seems ok so far, over 70 launches. 4k miles, and a trackday.

just they are bad for there customer services, and dont admit wen thier wrong, so even wen things are thier fault, the customer has to pay.

Best to contact Martin, as I think there's a few options available (gearkits etc.).
