Currenlty looking into the options for FWD gear internals.

Im after some feedback from those who may have run with a box with such internals, or at least driven a vechicle with such.

I had a play with that box at Autosport and thought darn

Lovely piece of kit

Yes Quaife have bought out the 6-speed dog box internals for the Gertrag box, which im kinda toying with at the moment. Need to strip mine down next week to see what the noise is all about. It still functions for now but its getting progresively worse.

Guys from Minisport are testing a similar kit in there rally car this weekend so i hope to hear some feedback from them on if it survived etc

Mmm....would love one of those sequential boxes for mine if i get a few more bhp lol, would need a cheeky win on a scratchcard or something to go for it tho lol! So is yours a standard 6 speed with no mods as such luke internals wise??? Not too surprised it's grumbling with what you're putting through it now, must be putting quite a strain on everythin now!!

No all was treated well no crunches.. still works fine just tad noiser and 5th grumbles.
Internally its all standard just with a quaife diff added.

Strip it next week and see if its power related or just a service is needed
