If you get either a new or second hand one then same will happen with that sort of bhp. Let me take a guess .... third gear ?

Depends what the torque is to go with it gravedigger. 330 can kill a std box with ease in the right (wrong) hands.

Smidsy how do you know how good a second hand gearbox is without opening it up and having it checked. Is this what most breakers do? I doubt it

Actually it's very much a matter of how you drive the car. If you shift it like it was 100bhp honda it's going to fail even with factory mapping which doesn't go at all.

You sure that the clutch hasn't welded itself to the flywheel if you have lost drive in ALL gears, as normally if it goes, you still have some of the gears and it rattles around like a tin of nails....
