I just hope the 5 speed will hold up or not, I see they are cheap to replace though. But I hear so much different sayings regarding how much torque(Nm) they can handle or not.

I've gone through three 5-speed boxes on my motor over 18 years. Last one held up to 430HP / 630Nm with a sharp torque curve. It was only killed by track use, would have been fine on the road. 3rd Gear on the 5-speed box is perfect on the S2. Unfortunately, that's the cog that eventually exploded on my last box. I have a 6-speed box ready to fit when I get the propshaft shortened. If you consider the 5-speed box as cheap and replaceable, then they aren't too bad. Also a lot cheaper to rebuild due to the cost of the input shaft bearing on the 6-speed which is hard to get and expensive.91 Modded 3B
