right gearbox has been notchy since iv had the car (topped up 1litre of oil when i got it)

i tend to drop down a gear rather than breaking, and now i have a gearbox whine!

what i need to no is a F13cr a better/stonger box, i no it has better gearing but i guess there all be shagged by now???

unless anyone has a F15 laying around

i dont get what your asking?? cr=close ratio

gear ratios are the number of cogs on input/output shaft - ie the closer the ratios are the quicker car goes through gears and gets speed up.

so really a gearbox is either "working" or not. doesnt matter what box?

oh forgot to say the numbers respond to torque capable of chucking through. and your engine isnt putting more torque through box - its just how you cant use clutch/box properly

get the cheapest box possible as youll be changing it again anyway if you dont change your driving style

any gearbox of that age is hit or miss now

f13s r pretty good any cr box is b etter of course but that doesnt mean its likely to be fooked any more than a plain f13
