As above, you want a 5th gear from a non-sports cluster box. I always thought the VTR boxes had the non-sports gear cluster, but it turns out quite a few of the later ones had the sports cluster.

Blackie: You could try speaking to Terry at GRS - he works in the same unit as Just Diesels in Blaydon. He might have a non-sports 5th gear lying around.

well to be safe then, get the 5th out of a deisel box?

my o3 vtr box on the car now is quick as fuck with the power....but once you get into 4th and then 5th the acceleration doubles tbf, hit 80mph and it goes into warp speed...which would explain the 5th being the same...but wit current final drive i can get it off the clock and that keeps me happy... with a vts bx its top out too soon i feel
