BGH geartek, get one with a high first gear so much better than the standard first gear

Thanks, BGH have good feedback.
I will have a think about a recon, i got lucky with the old one "hicost" had done a fair few thousand miles with it under some pressure
with a beefed up pinto and have had it in mine for 10 years so i cant grumble.
It was making some grumbles and now decided to leak both ends so i think its time, plus the fact the engine is coming out too.

Why not have a go at reconditioning it yourself, you can get bearing and gasket sets fairly cheaply.

RWD Motorsport were at Stoneleigh and do an adapter to fit V6 box to an inline Ford £45
V6 box is the poor mans solution
