Hey guys,
Im just doing a bit of research to either make me look like an idiot or my dad a fool.
Hes a control freak and recently i blew the gear box in my coupe.
Now over the past few months ive been following gear box conversions

Ive told the old man 1 of a few things.

Replacing the t50 is no problem but you wont get a warrenty.

He has managed to find a reco t50 for. wait. 1200 dollars undelivered. (20,000 ks or one year )

I might as well buy 2 or nearly 3 old boxes and sit one in the car and the others for when it blows up thats warranty enough i cant justify 1200 for a 23 year old gear box.

He has a preconceived idea that trying to put a W5x Series box into my car would cost the box of around 1200 plus labour of about 1500.

and that the mods to install one are hard and painful.

Could some one please tell me their experiences and how hard it is to find parts for this conversion and make up brackets?
and overall cost ball park.
pros and cons?

I dont think neither of us are going to beable to settle this between us
so i need someone to give it to me straight so i can form an opinion and show my father. who is about as head strong as me.

Thanks and regards

Jack Ritchie
