let us know how it goes mate, thinking of getting one sometime in the future if mine plays up I think (and i could be wrong) that the MF5 and the RB20DET gearboxes are essentially the same except for the double synchros and a few minor differences. There alot nicer feeling box though

but they are way cheaper. clutches are cheaper too. pretty much same as vl, except for extra synchro, and i think they have more ribs on the housing. much better box to drive though.
