I have just had mine replaced easy enough to do but takes around 2-3 hrs to remove gearbox.I got mine from Bara motorsports they uprate them from standard 25nm to 50nm
They ain't cheap from memory about £300 +vat for an exchange , mine turned out to be scrap as too badly damaged to refurb.

I've got a complete box that was about 300 mikes old in bits if you want one
New chain and viscous
Well, it was new in January 2004 so if you are interested then drop me a pm or I can put a for sale post up if that's what the rules state

Well if you has a perfectly working VC to exchange, you wouldn't need a new one would you?

This bloody gets my goat when companies do this.
