    with stock power yes! othewise the clutch will fail and over 350hp I think 7a/3b box will fail as well..

        all coupe quattro gearboxes are 4.11 rotation so no problem there but 7A/3b is not so strong as 01E....

          I hate the gearing of the current gearbox and dont want the hassle of changing to a six speed. The clutch and flywheel are uprated, just wanted to make sure i could use them with a 3b box.

              Amar it would be best to change to a 6 speed box as i have already broken a 5 speed in this car when i owned it. A 5 speed is not up to the job of the rs2 spec setup, especially on track.

              Changing to a 6 speed is very easy if you source the parts.

                Hi Dan, this is a different 90 to the red one, this will be around 450hp when mapped. I have uprated clutch and flywheel but just wanted to know what other box i could use with these parts as funds are tight and standard box has crap gearing

                    +1, and also the 7A box ,in my car holds pretty well with +/- 420Hp and 600Nm

                      I must have had a weak gear box then because it exploded after a few laps of Combe, .

                          It was the box that the 90q came with when i bought it from you, probably the factory 90q 20v box?
