anyone ever ran a 5 speed box in a turbo?
or is this possible?
also if the 6th gear has gone in a 6 speed box how will i know, will it still run as normal in 1st to 5th gear and just not go into 6th
I know someone who ran an F20 on an LET for about 6months until he sold the car. Used it every day and drove it HARD and it never let go. Dont know if its still going now or not tho, but just saying it is possible to get away with it.
If your clutch is dodgy and the tyres eeermm "not new" then the 5 sp gearbox will have a much easier life and will live longer, despite the extra torque and abuse.
so the general opinion is............... DONT DO IT lmao
the only reason i ask the question was i have a stolen recovered cav turbo (ex police) and a doner cav turbo shell just crying out for a LET but the ex cop car has only got a bloody 5 speed box in. either that or the 6th gear has fell out some where along the way cause i cant find the thing any were
BUT I CANT FIND SOME1 TO SELL ME A 6 SPEED BOX
If the box has F20 stamped on it mate by the gear change plunger then its a 5 speed
I blew one up on my nova turbo in 6 months but my replacement has lasted a year now. Best to wait and get a six speeder for it, thats what im fitting this year if all goes well.

hi there mate
i managed to get hold of a transfer box, just trying to get hold of a F28 now, they are like rocking horse poo lmao
the car has been strip inside and cleaned and put back together
I WANT A 6 SPEEDER
GOD BLESS YOU MATE
if it wasnt for reading this post i wouldnt have went out and checked the box. but after doing this i have discovered that IT IS A BLOODY F28 after all
but why cant i sellect 6th. whats this crack on dislinkage
any other reason why i wouldnt be able to select 6th
well i have only driven this car once as its break only and not ment to be driven on the road, but i did try hard to find 6th at the time and it just seemed as tho it just wasnt there, hence the reason i thort it was a 5 speed

I think he means an out of alignment linkage, ie one that needs adjusting.
