Well broke this gearbox on saturday morning
and we did a quick change then broke the second one on the last race of sunday
I think that this was caused by too many KW 230+

I guess you've now found out how much power an MX-5 box can take.

Not an SE box but a STD 5sp
Pic works for everyone else

Turbo girl broke this one
Yes I know the Class
Which means the Quafie 5sp is out of the Question
The six speed is stuck in 3rd NFI what went wrong
