mine is fine. done about 12k IIRC with it. holding up well. just dont like "fast" changes into 4th and thats about it. 2nd gear is still fine - but i dont drive like martin! LOL :wink: Only messin mate! :D

am considering uprating to willy box when i do my rebuild with cams and headwork, but will prob just leave it 16v box till it breaks! 8) save some pennies for wilwood 4 pots!

putting pressure on the diff by turning steering wheel and ragging off on tight bends, or donutting.

I am running 16v box, it had only done 40k anyway and seems fine, jumped out of second gear once lately over a bump so I hope this isnt going to be a recurring problem.
Enjoying lower final drive ratio but may get a willy box if it breaks....

16v box no good for a track day then? Seems a bit harsh lol.

got a 16v box in mine, afaik its still the orignal box which has now covered 84k since 92, wounder how long its going to last with 170bhp put through it tho. seems to whine a little in 2nd but thats it for now....
