Never came across a knackered IB5 yet, good strong box.
They can be bought new and cheap from eBay. There was a boy recently selling one for £80 brand new on ZR forum.

Depends on how its been driven the first 50k of its life really.
I was suprised, as they appear to be stronger than a r65 box, but then ford boys say they are crap. So horses for corses really.

ib5 is much better than r65, and my dad says they are better than the pg1, which he doesnt rate at all, mind you when i say he says pg1 is bad, he actually said theyre good because they go wrong lol

Ive put over 200bhp through a std ib5 with a turbocharged 1.4k.
The box never faultered and was given a hard time when testing the car at Bruntingthorpe proving ground.
However, i made sure the clutch was used when changing gear and didnt try to ram the stick in like a chav !

Think my gearbox has done the same today :-(
Drove to shops fine, back in then put it to reverse and something went ?
Gearbox is now looser than an old Amsterdam Ho..
Very sloppy gear change to get it home.
