You might want to consider putting a stronger gearbox onto your engine. Your spare box may fail in the near future too. The std fitment is AR25 but they are a bit marginal for the torque of a diesel.

The AR35 fitted to the 3 litres is a better bet as it is stronger. Breakers on Omega Forum sell them(in fact there was one in the parts for sale section recently I think).
