4.44 Gearbox on a 01 Bug Eye
Hey guys.
I have a MY01 Bug Eye and the syncrons in my 4th is pretty worn and 3rd is starting to go as well so I originally thought of changing to some new tougher gear sets. But a few people suggested that I would be better off spending the same amount of money on a good second hand box. I don't want to go for a 6 speed conversion since I can't afford it. So after reading some threads, a 4.44 box seem pretty good.
I have read that a MY02 comes with a 4.44 box, so I would like to ask if my MY01 can use it as well? Also when i did my service last time at RMS they told me that my diff is showing signs of age as well since its making so noise but not metal bits when it is drained while changing the fluid so nothing should be broken in there yet.
If it is possible to use a 4.44, about how much would it cost and if I get it from JWS or somewhere similar will I get a diff with it or is it a seperate piece that I will have to buy?
Cheers guys~
