Google reveals not a lot.

Are they still in demand?

Thanks guys, I had a look around BC but couldn't find any recent for sale ads.

My car seems almost set up for sprinting - it has the 3.92 diff and a 6-speed box. The car really does accelerates like nothing else!

I feel a bit shameful to say it out loud, but I'm finding that it doesn't really suit my driving style. I use it more for a lazy summer evening blat - the engine is pulling 175bhp with decent torque and the set up encourages a more of a full-on attack mode on every drive. Plus I'd like longer legs for more distance touring.

So I'm considering swapping out for a good condition 5 speed box - on one hand it does seems a retrograde step, anyone done it?

The 6-speed box itself from was Road and Race Transmissions and only has a few thousand miles on it I think - I'll have to check the paperwork. Was just keen to see if there was much of a market. If not I'll invest some money in tracking down a 3.1 touring diff instead.

Quick update, I swapped the 6-speed box out and need to clear the garage a bit (upgrades incoming!)

Seems there's now a Caterham 6 speed on PH / Blatchat if anyone happens to be looking for one. wink
