Don't think it's sold just yet despite what the last post says in that thread but the guy selling has also got a very lightly used JC5 for sale as well

Won't let me access it, have to be a member apparently. I was going to put my spare R19TD JC5 in my 9 Turbo, but if there's a new JB3 about I might consider it. Whats he asking for it do you know? Any contact details? (sorry to be a pain)

Excellent, thanks for that. Interested in it, where is the box located?

Nice to see a top car getting the love it deserves. Not many of these left now, future classic.

WOO ive not logged in here for a while... whats with all the gearbox pictures ??

To DaveL485 I could not praise Finishline enough for the fantastic job they have done with the bodywork. Its really good to know that there are still people with a passion for there work. Give them a call (ask for Chris Bray)

While we seem to be on the subject of gearboxes here is a link to the one i have spare in the garage

Not looking to pretty at the mo but the enging is nearly ready to come out, Have to confess that ive been really busy with work so a local mechanic is lifting it out for me

[16v_paddy]

Was just linking to a JB3 that I knew was for sale.

How much do you want for that box? I want a JB3 to nick the diff & final drive to fit them to my williams box, will make it go faster

[andy1969]

Don't ask me what it's worth as I'm incredibly tight & wont pay more than £20 for it

The final drive of the JB3 will let you have a higher top speed and fitting it to a JC5 will give the benefit of the higher top speed without the disadvantage of the weaker JB3 box..........well that's what I've been told by a few different people, plus my final drive/diff has st itself so I want to experiment a bit
