So I've got 2 sport "low ratio" gearboxes. I was planning on using these for the turbo'd m50 stroker I'm building but I'm now looking towards ZF boxes for a bit more strength, and I don't want to grenade a box that might have some value.

So how much are these going for now a days? Or should I just shove them away in the garage and hope they gain value?

If you can hang on to it, then that would be my advice.

Likely to only increase in value.

Interested to hear too, I have one for sale. Can't imagine they will go crazy high but you never know...

Ross - I have the bits you need (the twisted DSSR and the gearbox brace) if you want to use the G260 on the M50. PM me if you're keen.

Cheers,
Gus

Hi Gus, thanks for the offer but I've had the Getrag in for 3 years now. Only looking into swapping now I'm after big power

TNN and HM are the codes. Can't remember which ones mine are but when I checked both about a year ago, both were correct
