Best Gear box to fit my cab g60!

Hi can someone tell me what is the best gearbox? to fit my clipper mk1 she has 215 bhp at the moment  :twisted: don't want to go cabble change because of all the work to be done to do it.

Freshly rebuilt 020 box, with 100mm driveshafts, should handle the power okay.

Not disagreeing but isnt it torque that kills these g/boxes and dosnt the g60 produce awesome torque.

020 box is good for 250bhp and as much torque iirc

o2j box is as good but still made of chocolate

diff pins in both types of boxes are poop tbh

020 boxs are easier to come by and just as good :D deffinatly 100mm driveshafts and you may even concider your gearing ratios, i have a 1.8T
and am using a mk2 8v 020 box, biggest clutch i believe (210mm) (using an organic clutch) and a longer 5th, for economy as its never used to "race" in. Seems to be holding up just fine :D torque steer oh yes so maybe if you have the money get a diffed box or just cheapy it and put in a shim kit into the output flanges on the gearbox (peloquine),
Enjoy!
www.brokevw.com teaches you alot, he is a gearbox god.

With thanks Eddie-Toyotec, Ben-Bens_cab, Brian-Broke and the Mk1 Owners Club! 211Bhp, should get 250 on next map!
