At 120hp, you should be fine with standard drops. If you want extra piece of mind you could use the Mini spares Evo helical drops that have recently been released. In the 13's at last!.. Just |

New primary gear bushes, and a tightly shimmed idler gear with good bearings should be fine. Lots of primary gears seem to have quite a bit of slop now due to wear which doesn’t help, let alone the thicker transfer case gaskets. Edited by minimole23 on 31st Jul, 2019. On 7th Oct, 2010 5haneJ said:

Gary mine were boggo stock a+ ones , ok to well over 230 bhp . Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

Really. Didn’t you at least have a measure up of some from an auto? In the 13's at last!.. Just |

Just out of curiosity - From the manuals it seems like the mini auto gearbox also uses a torque converter - like basicly all automatic gear boxes back then. The torque conerter sits befor the drop gears instead of the clutch

A straight cut box with helical drops will be no louder than a helical box in 4th gear, which is possibly where it matters to you the most? |

A lot of whine when pushing hard through 1st -3rd as quiet as a standard box in 4th. Can’t comment if it’s louder or quieter than a full S/C box as i’ve never driven one. To me for road use it’s fine. Noisy when pushing hard as normal when cruising. |
