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...

No, and apparently there's no difference between the 5spds and a 6spd either, just an extra gear. You need to convert to an OEM transmission engineered and spec'd for the kind of torque you're putting down.

god damn it....and here I'm aiming for mid 300's very soon
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.

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 told them to eat my **** 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.

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

Peloquin offers a "no questions asked" warranty and apparently no one has ever broken one. I want him to make diffs for us but not sure if the planetary diff works as well as a clutch diff.
