oplock27 Member 36 Member For: 12y 7m 24d Gender: Male Posted 28/04/13 08:35 AM Share Posted 28/04/13 08:35 AM So the 5spd manual gearbox in my BA xr6t popped out of 3rd today and started making horrendous clunking noises as I limped it home. It seems I still have all gears but the noise is pretty bad. Looks like I will be paying Mal a visit. I live about 2hrs away so I'm tossing up trying to limp it out there but would hate to lose all gears and be stranded... What do you guys reckon? will she hold together if I try not to load it up too much?

Impellor Member 835 Member For: 14y 11m 23d Gender: Not Telling Posted 28/04/13 11:30 PM Share Posted 28/04/13 11:30 PM I must agree with Trento, if you want a dedicated drag car go the T400. If you want to drive it on the street, you can't go wrong with a Tremac TR6060.
