Re: american gearboxes
There's only a few (two I think?) running 517 boxes - Amanda (doesn't post on here that regularly any more) and Daveperc who was the first to do it.

Re: american gearboxes
What mods and power are you running dave? I'd like to plan ahead for my next failure and want to avoid conversion to manual
Re: american gearboxes
Mine is also still doing good after 20.000km.
So for now the boxes they build at 517 are good but they way they do business is horrible.

Re: american gearboxes
Same torque I'm pegged at. If it wasn't for the unexpected box failure last time I would probably be on a 517 just now but you're reliability has me reassured
