Im currently looking for a remote gearbox to rebuild using a dog engagement gearset. At this stage I'm not really after an S 'box so what alternatives could I use? I'm not too clued up with Remote boxes in all honesty. Could I use a 3 syncro? Or is there anything I should strongly avoid? Any help would be great guys.

just use any of the 4 sync remote cases

the elf box is a little thicker around the diff area, so might need more grinding out to clear the lsd (or at least the last one I did needed loads more than an 1128)

ive just rebuilt a jkd dog box that's in a 1128 remote box and ive got another to do that's going to go into an elf case.

the one in my race car is in a 1128 and it built beautifully (a swifty one)


I think you will really struggle to find a 3 sync remote kit that was worth using nowadays

Thanks Rich. I'll keep a look out for everything other than 3 sync boxes then.

Not to hi jack your thread but I have a NOS Jack Knight involute dog box gear kit. My customer bought it not knowing it's a UK standing start kit and we take the green at 50 mph over here. I think it may have fallen off the for sale front page. A 1128 box would be a proper home for these. Steve (CTR)

I just fully refurbed a JK gearset I got off here only a few weeks back. Just need a box for it all to go in! Haha
