Default Torque has killed my gearbox
Gear linkage has gone from first to second, I am looking at affordable new gearbox options (not the 8K quife) are there any suitable gearboxes for my 500HP lady S that won't give under high torque and track use? Don't mind spending money if it makes a good difference...

Possible rebuild for extra strength?

Any ideas

Get a low mileage secondhand MY04+ box and enjoy.

Agreed, the standard box is strong as an ox if you have some mechanical sympathy.

Har-vey is selling a gearbox right now. Worth a look.

That's a pre '04 so not quite so good.

Really? Is the +04 gearbox better than the prefacelift box?
If so, what's the difference?

Carbon fibre syncros instead of brass.

Is that true? I thought that was only on the ap2 gearbox which also had different gear ratios?
