Well seems to be the dogs balls of all LSD gearboxes just try find one with lower miles on it as after all research I done the synchros in 5th and reverse go between 90 to 120 always worth checking.

this one was £280 ? good price? :shock: unsure… Says there isn't any 'synchro' problems. I realise its all a gamble when it comes to used items, but should be good. See what happens when its fitted. I will try to remember to report back in a months time to see if it works! haha

I'm back. The U2Q7 Gearbox is in, along with a new clutch! WOW, sooooooo much better. Its surprising what you get use to, but when something better comes along :D . Theres no grates or odd noises, nothing to complain about! Don't know if its me, but it feels like a shorter throw between the gears compared to the last box? Just shows how good this box is! Thank you to everyone who helped out with this one! Very much appreciated. Happy vtec-ing 8-)

Just a standard clutch plate, nothing extravagant as yet. But its new, so its all groovy! Like one of these
"http://www.jtccustoms.com/products/JTC- ... rt-shifter" Looks good to me 8-) I've been looking at back boxes for my exhaust or cat back systems for my next add on. So much choice. Something that looks good and gives a better sound ;) Not looking for excessive power gains, just aesthetics.
