I like how they have a picture of a helical box too. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Also, they are reconed boxes implying the gear sets are used... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Guessworks boxes do seem very good from word of mouth, a mate of mine had a recently new guessworks box fitted to a mini he bought, it was pretty good as far as changing gear goes, nice and tight haha. On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

i thought it was a bit experience ive been looking at guessworks and what they do has anyone had experince with them? im after a highway box for a 1089 turbo build If using it on the highway, wouldn't the ratios in a std box be just as appropriate?

I have a 3.1 and a clubman set in clubby and I think it's bob on. Any taller would be a mistake though I think. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

That gearbox being rebuilt in that link. Have a look at the dog teeth. I've thrown away better gears... On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

On the topic of bad gears how do you tell if they are bad? Can they be measured? Do the races in the inside where out? |

You can generally tell if the teeth have any pitting etc. Its worth checking the cones on the gears, if they wear too much then the bulk rings will never bite and you'll end up with a crunchy gearbox no matter what you do.

Just a thought, but buying a Friday Afternoon box from previous mentioned seller and having it shipped to Aus would be a right bastard, if you were unhappy with it. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

IMHO Buy a gearset and bearings and build the box yourself. or get someone out there to do it for you. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
