Hi I just joined as i'm looking for a Williams gearbox.
My car is a 1995 16v in Monaco blue. It is currently lowered 60/70mm, has a IK and Magnex SS exhaust with de-cat.
Its currently off the road as I broke the racing at York last Sunday. This is the 2nd one in 2 months which is the reason for me wanting the stronger Williams box.
My car has run a best of 15.48@88mph which apparently isn't bad for a standard engined Valver.
See ya
Matt

Yeh the box got me to Howden then I got my mate to take me home on his recovery wagon.
The one I broke last month worked aswell, just all the oil dumped out of the big hole in the diff.
I stripped my old box, and it's the 3rd gear selector fork thats snapped in half. Is this the normal problem with them? The one I broke last Sunday did the same thing lol. They're not very meaty though which is a problem. The main shaft end bearing (not the one in the bell housing) had started to go aswell. Hopefully the box I broke on Sunday will be saveable with some uprated selector forks and the casing welded up but i'll have to wait and see.
See ya
