clicky) is your best bet to make a 'box last. Otherwise as has been said just stockpile cheap boxes and replace it once or twice a year
thats what i will probably do, im in a situation at the moment where i dont know what my future holds, theres going to be some big changes in my life which will be very positive eventually and will be for the best for me, i know im going to come out the other end happy, but its going to be very hard for a while but i dont think as hard as it has been for me, and i dont know when the good times will come back, if i had any sense id cash the car in after the repair but after the work ive put in and the amount of time/thought that ive put into it and how its kept my mind occupied in some hard times it means a lot to me, plus it will be a long time till i can get somthing on par with it if ever.
so ill never sell it, its going to stay inside a main dealership safe, warm and dry until january when they will start the repair, ive told them i dont care how long it takes, they can have it a year, i just want it doing to a high standard.
they will probably let me go in a and change the box and diff over while its in there i hope but i need a new clutch, the helix paddle with standard pressure plate is definatly not up to the job, since i put it in 5th instead of 3rd and it slipped like f**k for a few moments till i realised it wasnt wheel spin its never held the power since.
