   Right,
   
   basically my gearbox is dying at the moment, albeit slowly...
   
   now i wanna replace the 'box with a VTS one, and do the clutch at the same time etc..
   so really, the VTS box goes straight on, but what clutch kit will i need? also driveshafts are the same fit yes?
   
   Cheers all
   
   Matt

   the clutch kit you'l need is a vtr one...it will fit the vts gearbox. i dont think that you'l have to change the driveshafts. but someone correct me if im wrong!

   the clutch is the same between vtr/s, just needs to be for the right year of your engine.

   Longer gear ratios, might slow you down slightly on accelleration, but will give you more top end if you like to go flat out

    WRONG! better acceleration less top end...its the final drive that matters!
