If the box is treated gently it will last, you dont have to be booting it at the exact time it goes bang,
Was it the diff circlip, if so try that 1st £15 from Renault
Dont wheelspin is a good start,
Treat it well and it will serve you
There is a box that is stronger, but it is expensive JC5 box |

what difference will the jb1 make to performance, you would lose out on acceleration? |

Jc5 053 is from a megane 2.0 16v
The ratios aren't that far out from a jb3 083, a few mph @7k rpm in 3rd 4th and 5th. 1st and second are the same |
