Hi andy
did you break a 1st gear in the R+D not so long ago ?
hi spiky
nothing wrong with dave's box at all , it's his release clutch bearing that is fooked and thats got fook all to do with the box
you lot always seem to blame the box all the fooking time when there clearly nothing wrong with them
i get you lot a good product and all you lot do it is give it bad press all the time ,
same as the other gezza who owns the blue 600bhp escort @silverstone blamed the box striaght away and the after taking the gear box out it was his twin plate clutch was fooked
fook yourselfs from now on get another fooking box i have had enough of this shite
the only down fall with this box is it's still a syncromesh box thats it which was disigned for road/track day car

had no problems with the front diff at all.
to be honest the box has lasted well im not knocking it in anyway
i know a few peeps that have had them some have lasted a long time some have failed in such a short time
one thing i like about the R+D it is a dog box
Bara could do a dog box we have talked about doing one but the only problem would be is demand if he was to have a few orders he most defo would go ahead and do a few but it would have to be at the right price to , too sell them
marco
hi andy
if he does do one ,you would be the 1st person to test it
as you do a hell of alot of trackdays not only your car has the power aswell you would get it free of charge to test it and if it breaks dont worry about
ill just get it fixed send it back to you no cost

Marco,
You REALLY should learn to read and also REMEMBER what people say to you. When you said I was jumping the gun by blaming the box the FIRST time, I pointed out to you that I was attributing it to one of THREE transmission related things, the main input shaft, the front diff CWP OR the prop shaft 
. From the noise I knew it was ONE of those things, I never once on this forum attributed the blame to the 'box . When I pointed this out to you last time, you said "oh yeah, I see that now". How come a few days later, you're accusing me of blaming the 'box again 
, when I maintained the whole time that I wasn't sure which of the three things above it was going to be. However, I then posted up that I thought it was the diff after running it up on axle stands and getting underneath the car - but again, according to you, that is blaming the gearbox .
Dave,
It wasn't a matter of not wanting to waste any oil, it was the fact that I wanted to get the car to Harvey's before dropping the diff plate, as he is 75miles away from me, and if it turned out to be the diff (as I started to think it was after running it up on axle stands as per my original post), I didn't want the hassle of having to refit everything and then drop it all again at Harveys (where it needed to go to for a check-over after the 'Ring as it had an intermittant boost problem due to a sticking waste-gate)
.

you thought it was the box as Micheal escosracer posted a topic called "OUR BOYS @ THE RING " clearly stateing the box has gone
personally if the box had gone, theres no way you could have drove 500 mile home , not a chance
it's posts like that give the box bad press when clearly now we all know it wasn't the box ,thats what i mean , people just blaming the box striaght away .....
if any of your parts break on your cars why dont you find out first what has gone before you post or add something to an exhisting post what the problem was
ok
now why dont you buy or get hold of a thickwall front diff casing and build standard open diff with a strenthing plate into the casing you might aswell shot peen the CWP should do the jobmarco

? When I posted up MY views, I clearly stated that I though that it was one of three items. And it COULD have been a tooth off the main input shaft and allowed you to drive home no problem as well (something else I have told you before ), so saying just because I drove home it couldn't be the gearbox is nonsensical . FFS, Martin has driven 150miles with no third gear at ALL .You are clearly loosing your marbles, as I have posted NUMEROUS times about my diff, so for you:
1. It IS a Quaife thickwall casing
.2. It DOES have a diff plate on
.3. Going to an open diff made Porkie's car understeer MORE
, so I will keep my ATB thanks :.
. Mine is spaced out though, to clear exhaust
