I have broken two boxes both where builder error the first time they used the
wrong size bearing on the front cluster and while under lots of load the shaft
moved to the side breaking the ends off third gear teeth. The second one was worse
when some other mob rebuilt the box they used a short nose input shaft so it was
only in around 2mm so when this sliped out of the spigot bush it dumped all the
teeth of the input and cluster :( I have since bought kev rowleys skyline box with
no problems at all must have been built bye someone who knows what they where
doing. 8-)
