Any one care to explain how he managed to break that box considering it was wet and his shifts were fine?

I 'think' the gearbox popped just before the last shift, it starts rattling then he backs off and drops the clutch. Too much power for the box?

300ftlb's through an MX5 5 speed gearbox will do it.

I know of a few people running turbo mx5's with 300-350bhp and similar torque who go through 2 or 3 boxes a year. The 6 speed is a lot better but over 350bhp doesn't last for ever.
