It will help if you let us know what you primarily going to use the box for? Track racing,drag racing or everyday driving?
the n/a box has shorter ratios,and is stronger than what people make it out to be.
i had one fitted before for a few months,no problems,bolt straight on.there always the option of the g6 6 speed box,ratios will be short in that.Hmm, interesting.
Are they all literally direct bolt on gearboxes, with no modifying needed?
I've heard quite few 3rd gear poping...
the glanza box will be your better option. I would go for even shorter ratio if I could, but I'm in slalom/gymkhanas...
I've been considering changing the final drive for a while now, only reaching about 6000rpm in 4th on the 1/4mile.
Of course the other option is leave the box alone and up the power instead
fuck sake, i just threw an na gearbox in the skip yesterday!
na gearbox, for some strange reason ..holds on for longer. many of us here on the strip have stripped many 3rd gears from C56/C52 boxes, plenty!! The na ones hold better.
The best option though, if car is only used for strip is to fit a straight cut with sequential shifter and it will solve the problem once and for all..even if at a price
worth noting that an aftermarket diff wont fit in an na box. isnt that right?
are the 3rd gears being stripped because the synchro goes 1st on that gear so on gearchanges the gears are just grinding in????
