Williams gearbox is a JC5 and although it was only built to handle 13bhp more it's a lot stronger by comparison to the JB3 'boxes you'll find on a Valver.

The JB3's tend to have problems with the differential circlip which is why folk convert to the JC5's on their 1.8 lumps or when tuning the 1.8 for more power.

Hope this helps.

box is the same ont he diesel and petrol as far as fitment go, the ratios and bearings differ on it.

The diesels redline lower so need to do more speed for the same revs, thus you get silly speeds liek a 16V is 22mph per 1krpm in 5th but a diesel can be as high as 40mph per 1krpm in 5th

chris, are you saying its faster with a laguna gearbox?

Forum Moderator Joined: 02 Mar 2004 Posts: 19978

nope the opposite, longer ratios reduce the torque delivered to the wheels
