Killed my gearbox- options ??!!



  • Yea swapping just the 5th has been done, and will see a small improvement in mileage :) You'll find this on mx-3.com forums

    And yep it by swapping just 5th you'll avoid losing acceleration. Then you'll want to throw away the crap attached to the tranny, the k8 engine, and put in a klze ;)



  • lol ! yegh im trying to ignore the fact that some of you guys might have 400 plus under the right foot. ! At the mo im not able to spend that much on me motor. I mean i havent serviced the thing :cry: and thats way overdue i thrash it all the time and it stinks of burned fubber in the engine bay everytime i stop and get out. :cry: Maybe i should keep things like that too my self :)



  • that was burned 'rubber'



  • lol just kidding, my project mx3 doesn't even have the ZE dropped in yet, hopefully this weekend though! I think you should save for a turbo kit for your k8 engine ;) Time someone in the UK had k8 turbo :D
