There are loads of different options including everthing from omega/carlton boxes to ford stuff
manta boxes are fine if you dont drive like a hooligan 24/7. i offered him 2400 and he said no. it owes him 5k apparently
depends on what manta box..
gertrag 240 or gertrag 265.
both will do fine. i hava a mate who bolted a 4 speed gertrag 240 on his fase 3 let. sideways in all gears, topspeed of 180 km/h lol
you can also use a e30 m3 box (that's also a gertrag 265, but very short geared).
R25 from a carlton c20ne is also possible.

Manta 1800 box is 100% for LET power and more, just most aren't fitted and modified properly.:thumb:

people reckon 150bhp is tops for the manta box...mates kadett C was running 320bhp with gas through his before going to an omega box, never had a problem, and he gave the box some stick too.
probably just a looked after box before he got hold of it
tbh thats not a bad price for the car.
and that is another reason i am running the manta b axle, its wider, but it can take more, so if i wanna let the chevette later on im ok lol.
and as for the gearbox, i was going to go type 9 as it has alot of plus sides, but a manta one popped up at the right price and close so i had it.
the type 9 box has so much more support its unreal.
the carlton boxes are biggggggg.
