Hi Anyone - sorry to butt in on this chat - but I have a 4 speed manual on a petrol 2.8 GE 460 - ca anyone suggest a 5 or 6 speed gearbox that can go straight in or anyone that supplies a kit to fit one??

Any help would be appreciated.

Simply put, Mike wants to replace his existing 4speed gear box with a suitable 5 speed one.

Previous threads were about the 4 speed 280GE being super thirsty. Considered LPG conversion (price and trouble) and so swapping the gearbox might be a good thing.  It may make 10% improvement but also be a better vehicle to drive.
