Gearbox options
See a post the other night but cant find it
Just would like to know where you would go from a fixit kit
Speaking to lee today is he is well happy with his, and also heard that mike did over 35k in miles
And all this from a standard input shalf and 1st gear
But what about standing starts.
So who know what then???
This is a info post only and just wanting to know whats out there and how much!!
Cheers
Dave

Marco - correct me if im wrong.
but cant the Mullit uprated mainshaft and 1st gear be easily fitted to a Fixit gear kit?
just going from a past convo we had.
Dave, mines the Mullit, or will be as and when fitted.

I had no problems with my Mullet box at 460 measily horsepower
Very happy with the service supplied by Marco / Barra, and was my pleasure being a test dummy for the box
Dog engagement is the way forward though - as synchro boxes just can't keep up with proper fast changes.

i do agree with you 120% with the FFD
how many can afford such a box of that price
bara got loads of ffd's he doesn't sell than many because of the cost
that is a rich mans box simple as
he has sold more mullit boxes in the last 12months than 1 single ffd
people that have got money to burn (or sponcerd cars) will buy an ffd or an x-trac box they just want the best because money is no object

So which Ford based box will handle a 10 second capable car all day or weekend long at a sticky track and some decent tyres, without having to worry about getting stranded ?
Mullit ? Fixit ? other ?

My Mullet box thats going into my Escos will be getting LOTS of 1/4 mile abuse, and I will be running a twin plate clutch and thickwall front diff as well, so I will be able to launch it hard ... Mine has the uprated first as well, and hopefully will be about 430-440BHP , so I am hoping to get into the late 11's Can't fault the customer service either

it's hard to say
personally think the ffd and the xtrac would take the absue all day long
saying that theres a lad called Martin who has Mullit box in his escort cos in Bulgaria doing high 10's without any issues
Wenny another lad doing low 11's on another Mullit box
at the end of the day you get for what you pay for basically the mullit box is a standard replacement for the normal mt75 striaght bolt in no mods
standard spec of the Mullit box is 2nd /3rd/ 4th /5th big tooth striaght cuts gears the rest is optional like uprated mainshft/1st gear/bearings/vc/lower ratio 5th /and now dog engaugment
thats all i can say
TG Racing in Sweden uses all Mullit kits now and has been for the last 12/13 months without any issues he use to use all the Fixit kits on some of the top drag cars in Sweden

What are the pricing ?
no, not at the moment they are normal ratios as it was designed as a fast road /trackday box to take abit of bhp it was never desinged as a rally box
the new option is the dog box on the same ratios but to give a faster gear change
56 kits been sold not one come back with any broken gears except for mike rainbirds car and his broke because the standard bearing colapsed
which took out the 4th gear on the 1st motion shaft it's good product for what your paying
the dox box will be more money tho

Noise doesnt bother me so much...it would be shift quality with the dog box for normal road use....
Can anyone comment ? Is it something you could happily drive around town at the weekend, or would it annoy you a lot ?
