4pekatt 0 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey guys!So, I have heard that the original gearbox may not enjoy getting beaten up too much.. It will break easily under hard driving. Also, original gearboxes may not be so easy to come by.Are there any list/overview of what gearboxes are compatible with the VR6 engine, and how much modification that will have to be done?I tried searching a bit, and I found an asnwer saying "V5 gearbox will fit". And that's about it :-)Any help would be appreciated - I just want to know what options I have the day my gearbox breaks. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
MaidenVR6 26 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 If your not on high boost, your gearbox will be fine. What breaks is the differential. It has a big bolt going thru it. That bolt gets so warm. it starts to slide out of its bellhouse. And it hits the inside wall of the gearbox, crushing everything to pieces.Buy a LSD differenrial. and the issues is gone AND you will get better grip. MUCH better grip.PeloquinWavetrackQuaife Link to post Share on other sites
