yeah thats right, i kmnow they rate it at 190bhp i preume thats for sierra weight car, but in a 7 type what kind of power do people put through them?

It seems to depend on how much use its had (unsurprisingly), HD or not, whether it has a quaife ally lid and/or body, rose jointed lever (as it does) etc etc.

I've seen 2nd hand ones go for as low as 5-600 for a standard casing with SC internals up and on up to well over £1k with the lighter trick bits.


Not wishing to sound to cheeky but I am on the hunt for something of this ilk so should you be wishing to part with it, please let me know :p

Otherwise, I hope this is of some help.

It is worthless as it was built for a LHD car.

be double the price then

As per previous post, alot depends on how much use its had, and number of trick bits, not so long back i know a mate who bought a Quaife Straight cut, heavy duty box, alloy lid, rose jointed stick etc for £900 and another a 5 speed alloy cased dog box for £1100, so based on that i would say around £600 mark, it depends on demand at the time and how many are out there for sale.

bit confused, is this a staight-cut box or a semi-helical geared box?
