Hello,

I broke 5th gear of my T5 last night, and back in 2012 blew 3rd.

Could someone let me know if an AJP Challenge gearbox (or internals) is a viable option for a 4.5 Cerbera?

Many thanks
Aide

You probably wouldnt want the straight cut 5th in a road ar due to the noise... but give john reid a bell about the other mods he does to make the box stronger

Bernie at Competition Transmission Services used to do a set of strengthened gears for the T5 gearbox. I used one in my Tuscan back in the day:

Just to add..

I got a second hand CR Quaife in the end.

What a difference the closer ratios make. It's a different car.
