Is your car putting out more power? Did you have a warning?

Engine is 450 bhp 420 lbs torque and has been for a long time.
No complaint about gearbox failing as l do sprint races with the car and won my class yesterday by a big margin smashing the class record by 3 seconds.
Had a funny noise on my last run but gearbox held out, then on my way home under power in 5th big bang ! then no drive however managed to limp home with other gears.
Just wanting to get a strengthened version now.

ask to speak to Berni

he has been doing gearboxes for me for years - top notch quality

last one i had took 4 years of punishement before it let go - most other boxes wouldn't take 4 hours of abuse

can't recommend him enough
