Im going to pull it out in 2 weeks and will probably get the Mal Woods T56. How long did yours last with the extra power? What are you planning to do with yours apart from find a good place to bury it :lol: Cheers Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Member 378 Member For: 20y 9m 13d Posted 10/05/04 12:12 AM Share Posted 10/05/04 12:12 AM Reflecting my technical ignorance about gearboxes, but I thought torque was more the issue than the rwkW? Yes/No?Any layperson explanation would be much appreciated. Safe and happy driving...Dr Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
