dont bother with reverse boxes,they are fine for factory demo cars and 10 mile/year cars but if you actually intend to drive the thing the box will let you down.i killed 2 reverse boxes and then went out and bought a straight through prop and havnt looked back(because im no longer reversing)my brother also blew his up and binned it in favour of no reverse.
less vibration,less drivetrain backlash just better.
its not like you are negotiating B&Q car parks everyday in this kind of car,on the odd occasion you do need reverse(very very rare)you just undo your belts stand up and scoot the car backwards,this technique has the added advantage that you can now see over the cars that surround you as opposed to being at tyre level.
