Metal salad in my 5-speed, MLV and sound.

So, driving around tuning fuel, gearbox goes boom.
For now I am dropping in a replacement 5-speed. Is there any difference in the early 1.6, early 1.8 of later 1.8 gearboxes? Wasn't expecting it to blow this soon... |
ouch..

god damn it....and here I'm aiming for mid 300's very soon:facepalm:
regarding 6 speeds: I'm pretty sure they are capable of holding a bit more than the 5 sp, simply due to the fact that the gears are shorter and closer, as well as having a more rigid bellhousing allowing for less flex, and less torque load going from gear to gear. just my uneducated guess. |
I was in 3rd or 4th, can't remember actually.
Who is running the Quaife gearset? The wide ratio w/my 4.1 Torsen is tempting. But only if it will never break. |
try it and see:D

Would you pay more to get a 15.000mi NB 5spd over any old 100.000m NA box?

What's the write-up for this R&R?
- Drain gearbox - Remove speedo cable and wiring clips - Unbolt PPF and move it to the side - Unbolt drive shaft and move aside - Tilt engine slightly backwards - Unbolt range of 14 and 17mm bolts, including starter - Remove? Missing something? |
Big exhaust? Unbolt downpipe and remove.
My 6-spd wont come out with the 3" downpipe in place. |

taking it out is cake. aligning the input shaft when putting it back on is a bitch.
|
- Lift car up HIGH
- Remove shifter as a whole - Remove cat back - Drain gearbox - Remove speedo cable and wiring clips - Unbolt PPF and move it to the side - Unbolt drive shaft and move aside - Tilt engine slightly backwards - Unbolt range of 14 and 17mm bolts, including starter - Remove? |
disconnect shifter

Cue Huster's millionth anti Quaife tirade.
I told them to eat my shit on toast and Gary Peloquin chimed in and cut me a deal on his differentaial that was fine in my car and my friend's 900whp car. I wish he'd made differentials for us...time for me to call. It will be a cold day in hell before I give Quaife a god damn red cent. |

Quaife sucks because I bought a $900 differential from them, had a pro install it for $500...then one of the first times I ran the car on the freeway in 4th gear at 480whp the diff's case broke. I called quaife and those ******s told me they would only warranty the internal gears, not the case and they'd sell me another one at a reduced priced.

I have never heard one bad thing about Peloquin and they are cheaper with a better warranty! |

Toasted gearboxes are never fun. My secondary shaft broke in half on my first kill.
