    R5 GT Turbo Gearbox + Engine...

    First post!

    as the title says.

    my gearbox dosnt like going into 5th and some slight grinding in some gears so am after a new box.

    also the bottom end of the engine has become rather noisy so im reckoning this needs replacing or a whole engine may just be easier.


    thanks.

    I have an engine that dropped a valve so pistons, head and liners are knackered but as far as im aware the bottom end is fine. I also have the gearbox that came with this engine but it is missing the clutch cover/stabilising plate. If you're interested pm me.
