All depends on how good the original heat treatment was. If you have the box apart just fit billet..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT! if you are going to seriously abuse it or have no mechanical common sense then go 3 speed, with over 30 years of R&D & billet everything of the shelf a safe option for some ppl.
