Default Blew my gearbox up
Quick question, i've just wrecked my MT75 (its stuck in 3rd and makes lots of rattly noises) Is this now fit for scrap? I want a BARA ox sometime next year and i was jsut wondering if this is worth keeping to put the uprated parts in? I know its hard to tell without taking it apart etc.

you will need a box for Bara to rebuild the kit into.

and you can get your fooked box fixed also.

Ahh right, i'm not very up on boxes So if say the mainshafts buggered they can fix it? I know 3rd gear itself gets replaced with the bara box.

The most annoying thing about it is i was only on low boost (15psi) when this happened, wouldn't have minded as much if it had gone out in style

Dave - cheers I've seen the box for sale, just need to do a bit of saving (which i'm shite at )

Jimbo, i really need a proper box in the car, just going to put the standard one i have in for the moment so the car is at least mobile, won't be in the position to buy a proper box for a few months probably
