Tight fart Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Having just bought a new engine to replace my crossflow I think I need to upgrade the gearbox. The new engine is a fuel injected 2.0 litre Zetec and my gearbox is the original 5 speed Ford that Caterham supplied when new (type9?) Now the budget will be tight as usual, so what options are there for under a £1000 ? T.F@O.F. www.griptv.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 01580 714114. Good bloke, good products etc, but takes ages to get him or the product. Also try Tran X. I beleive they sell boxes for less than £1000. tran X 02476 659061. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
French Flame Thrower Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Try speaking to Steve Parker who advertises in LF. He has the name of someone who makes an awesome box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelspeed Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 You could get a very good nick Quaife straight cut clubmans or professional 5 speed box for under a grand but it would be second hand. New prices about £1200. Or you could go more exotic, I sold a second hand Quaife, year old, ally cased, 4 speed dog box for £700 so they are around. Buy from someone on Blatchat and it would probably be OK, they're pretty bullet proof and not stressed much in a Se7en. Buy from Muttering Nudes though and be more careful, they're much more highly stressed in a rally car, probably worth a strip down and good look by someone who know's what they're doing if it comes from there.

Bilbo Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Hi westy See DT catalogue. I am still planning on buying one after September, unless life takes a turn for the worst. You also need to allow for new clutch and flywheel and change to hydraulic release bearing to get the full benefit. 'Can you hear me running' ......... OH YES and its music to my ears 😬 😬 😬 1988 200 bhp, 146 ft lbs, 1700cc Cosworth BD? on Weber's with Brooklands and Clamshell wings, Freestyle Motorsport suspension.
