yey! ive got it back. boo! it cost a fortune. im pleased ive got the car back but its completely different. i dont like the new clutch, the old one was a lot stiffer which i liked and also it disengaged almost as soon as you pressed down on the pedal which was great for fast changes. but the most disappointing thing is the ratios are completely different. it accelerates a bit quicker now but sitting on the motorway (or any straight peice of road for that matter) and the engines doing about 500rpm more than it was doing with the old gearbox at any given speed. the engines doing 3000rpm at 60mph!!!!
