They are all pretty reliable. The only major probs on the early ones was the brakes on the Ba MK1 (standard brakes) The Manual in the BA MK1 was crap but the 6 speed in the MkII was much better. If you can try getting a drive of a BF 6 speed auto.. Very smoth and a tough gear box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAS Member 23 Member For: 17y 4m 14d Posted 26/10/07 03:11 AM Share Posted 26/10/07 03:11 AM also depends on how much power you want to run. If you're gonna be modifying the car I'd go with an auto gearbox or a 6 speed manual. but either way, stay away from the 5 speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
