EDIT, wont fit in a te71 tunnel ^ (i assume)

Leave the T50 behind it (I assume it's a t50?) for now. Unless you're pushing big hp, you wont do much to it. The standard ratios suck arse with a standard diff ratio, but different diff ratios and box ratios are easily available.

 

It all comes down to how much you want to spend.

 

R

T-50 with close ratio gears is proven to hold 250hv at rally useage.

W-series weight way too much :) No need for those, if you arent seeking over 300Nm torque.

 

Ps. Gearbox is not broken, if your synchros are worn out, it just needs maitenance :S

T-50 box is the way to go,

but use one from a sprinter(AE86 twincam) these have needle roller bearins and larger shafts.

the early T series from TE27's-TE72's have a smaller sharft sizes and just ball race type bearing.(also smaller).

 

you can buy some good ratio's for T-50's as well as straight cut gearsets.

 

like Toycrash said, there good for 250hp but you do have to maintain them.

Allso late TE71 and TA60 have same box than AE86.

 

I wouldn't use any close ratio g-box at serious racing, where 5th gear is still overdrive.

 

Normally 5th gears can be converted to 1st gear and then yoy have "5th gear" 1:1. Alltho you have stupid H-pattern, where you have to start from stock 5th gear location as it's the new 1st gear.

 

Can be modified to use normal H-pattern, but that is expensive :S

 

I'll stick with my close ratio T-40 :)
