    hey guys, just blew my NA gearbox today 2 weeks after my NA to TT conversion.., just took off at a set of lights and all of a sudden BANG, my 1st gear was gone.. i am now thinking of putting in a TT gearbox in there, however i am using brand new NA lightweight flywheel and heavy duty clutch, is it possible to use them on a TT gearbox ? also is the driveshaft different or the same? i am using a single piece NA driveshaft...

    thanks :)

    just get another na box.... it wouldnt be coz of your conversion... the gbox is about 15 years old.. was bound to happen sooner or later

    oh ok, would it be better to get a 94 + gearbox, because it has stronger internals ? or just stick to basics and get another NA gearbox
    thanks topher:cool:

    must be gear box week! mine went last weekend. but all my gears are just seriously slipping. a mate of mine rang around and found that it cost about $800 to buy all the required parts to service your auto box, but i went the other option and decided to fully trick it out. for the right price im getting a 2800 stall converter, stage 2 shift kit, 6 heavy duty clutches and some other heavy duty bits and peices. when finished ive been told the box should be good for 750hp.. so hopw fully it'll last a little longer..

    we pulled the box out last night, only took us 3 hours and we'll be putting it back in when it comes back from down south in 3 weeks time. :zlove:

    well it was going to cost me $5000 to have it rebuilt back to stock here in the ville. but a mate of mine is a mechanic in the army and loves working on imports. so he pulled my box out of the car and put it on a truck to adelaide to have it rebuilt with extras. all up including frieght it's $2800 plus i'm doing some other things too, like seals and shit while we have the gear box out. so all up should be about $3500 for the box, oil cooler and a nice bm shifter if i can find one?
