Is there an add on gear box availble that would give you a few higher gears

Can I ask you a question? If all you can buy is a comprehensive policy because that’s all that’s being offered, why not just bite the bullet and buy it? Because there is no law and it is not mandatory to have 3rd party f+f or full comp in the UK, so it is just the insurance companies monopolizing l...

From an insurers perspective, if you have a modern car as well, they assume that you will use that as your everyday car, which has the effect of reducing the miles you put on your Classic car. The less mileage you do, the lower the risk of you having an accident in the Classic car. Although with Ac...

Mine sites at exactly the same revs at 60mph as those in 5th as mine in 4th.

But still nowhere near as less reves as a 5 speed box then?

But did it up the gear ratio where it felt like a whole gear? So first would feel like second and 4th would feel like 5th

But you owning another vehicle has nothing to do with why you cant have 3rd party only! or am I missing something?

Frequent some dolomite or early GT6 FB pages!

Was that new or used?
Was it a complete diff shaft or an add on?
Did it up the ratio on top 4th gear and what about first? or was the diff a separate item and a separate gear its self?

So its going to be a lot of money and work. I think its best to walk away from this as soon as.....

I dont know who or what BL is or what a trans tunnel is either

So I see its either a dip swap or a gear box swap then
So not an easy fix for a long hall on the motorway after all

Can it be done with ease; Upgrading the box?
Or is there a quick and simple answer to lowering rpm for long halls on the motorway?

Thanks

And that is why I am getting a classic car to get out of the scam of the system enslaving us by removing our rights to free travel and to roam the land as much as I can but there is still the scam element attached.

But in all reason one would expect to pay a fraction of that for 3rd part only

I would just go for another cylinder head, weather its your referbed by a specilist or you get a second hand replacement

Third Party (Act only) or TPF&T is very rare these days, usually only available on request from most insurers. I know its all part of the motoring scam! But how to you request 3rd party only if they say they only do full comp Pick up the phone. The answer with HAGERTY'S was No! and they are to ...

Again they are selling you other stuff in there that you may not need; it legalised theft!
