Why does everybody hate on the Getrag? For high HP cars it might not have the longevity of the ZF but for anything under 300 hp I think the Getrag is great, plus it is significantly lighter! I'm putting down 200whp and with multiple floggings at the track it still shifts like butter @ 140K! When it goes I will just rebuild it.

That sucks man, I've heard lots of stories the car was just cruising in traffic and she lets go. You going for a M50/M52 conversion?

I was putting down 260 odd rwhp on the 4 cylinder supercharger setup. I liked the Getrag myself. It was smooth, lighter and less notchy.

I don't think it's hate in particular. I think if you're going to put in another gearbox, it's probably better to spend a little bit more for that extra durability in case you build something more powerful later on, than to spend a little less than you should have and end up paying for a another gearbox (ZF).

Running roughly 430 rwhp on ZF now.

Just safer when running higher power on the ZF. i currently still have the Getrag with 212,000 miles on it and running great, but i have a spare ZF sitting there waiting to go in when i blows.

I blew a stock M52 up similarly. Love your carnage pics!
Definitely swap to the ZF and don't think about the getrag rebuild. Though, if you only have 300whp in that thing.. maybe it's not needed? I blew mine up in less than 50 miles. Never looked back after swapping.
