Wouldn't a thrust bearing do the same though?

[d3an7]

Ohh lovely =( how long do u think its got left?
Well if it need replacing what box do u think I shud go for next then?

[holdawayt]

What ever gearbox it already has? I.e vtr box.

[d3an7]

Well its a a furio box but im thinking of a change because a friend thinks it could be a sincro/selector or something like that?

Get a 1.1 box mate! Had one on my furio was good fun :)

+1 i'll always recommend a 1.1 box over the others, they do seem to be a good all rounder! i've also had S1 Rallye and a VTS and i preferred the 1.1.

[d3an7]

So a 1.1 box will b alright with vtr? Will I need to change anything with it?

should bolt straight up.

make sure you clip the release bearing in right place and check that it's serviceable.

Does it grind if you go up from 1st to 2nd or drop it from 3rd to 2nd or both?

Iv been told that 1.1 boxes dont last long so I shud put a gti box in?

Synchro is gone , if everything else is perfect and it doesnt bother you then you dont have to change the gearbox. If you do change it I would get a vtr box, cheaper than an s box and more common.

correct, expect 6 months out of it. Get a VTR box.
