I've recently fitted a supra 5 speed (w58 or 57 I think) into my 5L VS Statesman (yes a holden conformadore)
..anyway, the general consensus is that it has a reasonable chance of breaking. if not now-ish then sometime next year once I go to 6.3L (thats 383ci )
So can I rebuild this box to be tougher?
Where do I get parts?
Is it worth it? (step-dad is a mechanic so don't factor in labour costs)
I paid $450 for the box so it's not a huge financial issue to replace it, I'd just rather have one that will withstand a little abuse (even if it costs a little extra to build). I knew the 5 speed wouldn't exactly be bulletproof but the cost of replacement made it an attractive proposition (and it is better than the crappy T5 fitted to holdens from the factory..)
