Hi,

There are tons of discussions on gearboxes in the forum so it's worth doing a search, as for the best, well without going silly on custom built jobs that's down to the particular application quite a lot. What engine, what are you going to use it for? Again, much of this is discussed in the history of the forum, a search is the best place to start.

Im interested in this subject too but how exactly do we use the search facility. I have tried several times using many of the options, with hardly any success. Very recent posts seem to appear but not the older stuff where many popular subjects such as G/boxes, brakes, clutches, exhausts etc, may exist?
Its very slow to scroll through 2-300 pages of discussion titles trying to find the appropriate ones, hence much quicker to open a new post.
Could this be related to internet security/firewalls or am I just being thick as usual?

Any way to save the threads not already on the sticky Ultima FAQ?? Would avoid searching around...

Thanks

Go on then chaps, what are the applications? Which engine have you got and what is the proposed use - touring, race, trackdays etc... Do you want centre shift, side shift or paddle and if relevant, what's the budget?

If I was starting from scratch, I would have a long talk with jeff schwartz about the Mendelo? box before moving forward on a G50. If you decide on a G50 I suggest longer fourth and fifth gears and a limited slip. Lee
