Funny u should say that about geartorque.....the 'uprated' box i bought off em a year ago shat its load on the wkend! Only runnin 170bhp and wasn't really givin it any stick at the time! I had terrible service off em n all, they tried palming me off with a non rsturbo box at first!

The rollerbearing next to the crownwheel pinion at the end of the centermost shaft(layshaft or mainshaft or whatever). I've carried out this mod to a few boxes that have hold up fine so far. The bearing is around 30e from Ford.
