My mates frs is a forged spec'd on gt30 ect ect running 400bhp and it's on it's 3rd gearbox (standard) wot options has he got to avoid going threw another gearbox wot uprated gearboxes are out there for the frs and will a better diff help the gearbox ???

frsjon

didnt think they suffered with gearbox issues? whats actually braking on the box?

Oranoco

Thought the FRS used the MTX75 box with a Quaiffe ATB diff? Always thought these to be fairly sturdy

mk2 frs 6 speed is the upgrade mate

pauldonachyrs

Do these go right in with no problems or is there anything needed to be changed or modified

pauldonachyrs

3rd gear always breaks and 5th

dodge8283

it will need a plate making up to mount it mate. I bought one to fit to my mk 1 rs but not had any issues with the mtx75 tbf.

Needs a lot more than just a plate to bolt it up

pauldonachyrs

I was thinking that aswell

I always thought these boxes were known to be very strong never heard of issues before. I had a 430hp mk1 rs with the standard box with no issues at all. Used to roast brand new michelin's in 3rd gear on a dry road

He must be a rive arse to be damaging the boxes lol.

little bram

His he had 3 different boxes or the same box rebuilt? Also is it stripping gears or synchro problem?

crazycage

I've had the synchros go on 3rd and 4th gear on 3 different focus rs boxes ,flat shift killed one of the boxes after just a few gear changes . Never had bearing or gear problems tho

pauldonachyrs

Probably could be the synchros that's fuck actually he's never really looked proper into it when it's gave him a problem he's really just changed the box ,and it's basically second hand boxed he was buying but all had average miles on them
