New box :)

Didn't take a pic of my actual twin plate but it looks the same as:




The reduction in rotational mass has made a significant change in the way the car responds to the throttle, it's possibly best described as mental :rofl:

Soooooo nice to ditch the old gearbox, that is the original box from the original slicktop turbo I purchased ~12years ago, it has seen a LOT of use and abuse and apart from throwing all the synchro clips out, destroying two input shaft bearings, wearing ALL the synchros out, all the bearings being noisy it was going great :rofl:

Nice to see the 98 spec box has a boss for a magnetic pickup off the ring gear - VERY handy for those running after market ECUs and pushing the limits

 

You old one doesn't look too bad. New one is nice and shiny, that won't last long

 

so much want.

although cosmetically that old one looks pretty good too. why replacing it?

 

I can be a bit fussy & like to have things clean (a bit like Jono) so externally the old box looks to be in good condition, internally .......... Well lets just say the oil I drained out of it was very dark grey and after leaving the oil to settle for a while there was a silver lining on the bottom of the tray.

 

you'll love the clutch /flywheel setup .

And a clutch/crouch shot before surgery - it's much tighter now


Yes the new clutch is awesome, was seriously sticky for the first few shifts but has bedded in a little now and is just as good if not better than the big single it did have.
