custardtart Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 PRICE REDUCED TO £800 FOR QUICK SALE For sale is my Type 9 straight cut, close ratio gearbox (not a dog box) originally built by Phil Jones. (Clubman) No use since full rebuild. The box comes complete with a Quaife alloy maincase and also the Quaife alloy top cover which saves 5kg over the steel maincase and costs nearly £500 on their own! It’s got a set of Quaife internals built around a Ford mainshaft and has just been fully rebuilt with new synchros with zero miles since. It has the following ratios. 1st – 2.39 2nd – 1.69 3rd – 1.21 4th – 1.1 5th – 0.87 Ideal fast road/hill climb/sprint box. Price reduced to £800 for quick sale! The gearkit on it's own would cost £700, the maincase & top cover would be another £500 and that's before it's all been put together. U2U or call on 07973 808363. Cheers Matt
custardtart Posted December 26, 2008 Author Posted December 26, 2008 Pro or clubman? It's neither, it's as described. Howver, it's effectively a clubman if you're refering to power/revs rating and the fact it uses a ford mainshaft and no needle roller bearings. Then again if it did I'd be asking twice as much

custardtart Posted January 5, 2009 Author Posted January 5, 2009 New gearbox now installed so this has to go, hence the big price reduction! This is a great box and a bargain at this price!
Keith Scarfe Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 QUOTE so this has to go Are you sure. It is a good idea to keep one as a spare if you can. Depends if you can afford to have it sat there or if you need the money. These (even the tranex/quaiffe ones) have a tendency to break and a spare means you easily get out for the next race rather than trying to strip/rebuild/replace it quickly. It is the std ford bits (selectors, baulk rings) that break if you are a bit heavy handed with changes. Just my experience.

Thanks Keith but sadly I'm scraping the barrel to do the full season so have no choice. Having said that, I'm not letting it go for less than this so I may well have it just in case. I'm taking the old 1-2 approach to gear changes this year Just out of interest, what would be the main spares you'd keep for a season's racing?
