as it looks like my gearbox might be being stripped just wondering is there anything that I could change to give faster 0-60 times or antyhing. changing the gear rations possibly?

thoughts my mechanically minded friends.

I would imagine that 0-60 is about spot on - you hit 60 just as second gear runs out. I would consider making 5th gear longer, for lower revs when cruising. I don't think there is any point uprating anything (maybe the output shaft, lol!) unless you are thinking about lots of power.

You will need shorter gears for a faster 0-60, you could try 1st and 2nd from an FTO. Most mitsi gearboxes seem to have interchangable gears

But if you change gear a second time before 60 will that not make the 0-60 slower? Shorter gears will definitely give you better acceleration in that gear though.

Is 0-60 in Sub 5 seconds not fast enough for a 1 3/4 ton Family Estate Car :thinking:

That is very true " LESS WEIGHT " will help our cars get there faster.
