If the gearbox is 4sync, there is NO difference between that and a rod box. I like Remote boxes, but there are fewer parts that wear in the linkage system on the rod ones. Strengthwise, they're all the same! ( Apart from 3 sync which are inferior) On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

the rods are longer than the remote, but the remote is a better box if you are rallying / rally x as the linkages are inside the armoured cast remote

All gears inside bar the reverse idler are the same, so they EXACTLY the same :) On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

someone posted a very good point about the remote box in that its basically the ultimate ultimate engine steady. However, i can see that a car with shot engine mounts would probably duff the diff cover and changer, probably why there are so many of those gearboxes with cracks in them I've seen the future and tbh its Pie

The linkage rod(s) might be longer, you tell me :) Yes, the remote acts as a giant engine steady...Good idea isn't it... On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

lol i am clear on what ya mean now vegard... i can confirm through using both that the linkages are different lengths the remote type being slightly shorter.

Cheers for that clears up a little bit i think, was thinking about having the gear linkage within the car (like most severns and miglias) as i under stand it speeds up gear changes, is this true?? also if i was to do this would i need a rod change box apposed to my remote change box.

It does not at all increase the speed of shifting, but it allows you to cut the lever, move the lever to wherever you want it to be, and increase room for exhaust etc.

i have seen many cars rolling off the track with snapped linkages. i personally thought the remote box was a stronger box but have no evidence to substantiate this, other than 5 seasons rally x nothing technical though
