i have just ordered a straight cut gearbox for my 1380 mini ( non turbo) i have looked at various threads, but could not find any answers. what would be the difference if I also fitted drop gears along with my gearbox, and what would happen if i did`nt fit them ?

Drop gears are the weaker link and the bit to replace first TBH.

Don't worry if you have already bought it. Look at it as an investment for the future.

i think it was stevie turbo that ran helical drops and straight cut box ,at a v high power , enough to break teeth off the straight cut gears , but he never had a prob with the drops .... has anybody actually broken teeth off the a+ helical drops ? Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

I've not yet stripped my old engine and box yet, but I'm pretty sure that it was the remains of a drop gear that came out of the sump.

Bearing were fine and are still in the car and going strong, probably should have changed them when I replaced the drops, LOL
