My Bush and Box

[Deeman]

Well Chaps - my gearbox bushes and seals have been done and I am well happy with the gear changes now (almost rifle bolt! - bar 2nd, and it no longer leaves a trail like the Exxon Valdez. Previously trying to keep up with Joe on way up to Blenheim, and struggling to locate the 3rd gear gate on heavy acceleration was a tad embarrassing, and it was getting a struggle after last Euro trip.

The debate in my head now, given it runs a shaggy old LT77 box, is whether anyone on here has done a direct swap out to an R380 or T5 box? Shouldn't it be a direct swap out - do-able at least? Im thinking future here, when the LT77 inevitably caves in. Thoughts?

Hi Paul - interesting feedback. Maybe i'll put up with the notchy 2nd for now. I had wondered whether anyone had specifically made this change on a V8S though.

Thanks Richard - all worthy information to take on-board. I'm not sure I want to start carving up the interior either.... I'll stick with the LT for now, but I think if it goes any more, I'll research a stronger box.
