Standard gearboxes

[AlleyNiki]

Hi all, just got a quick question that I couldn't find the answer for by forum searching.. 

Anyone know what the standard a/c transmission can withstand in the way of horsepower?

I ask only because I'm saving to modify my engine to get a respectable 30bhp out of it, but I haven't really considered what the transmission can and won't be able to take.

Thanks for reading / responding.

Hi!

30hp should be fine on a standard transmission.
Have a look here for example:

and here:

http://club126uk.co.uk/smf/index.php?topic=5006.msg38179;topicseen#msg38179

both owners seem to do just fine with well more than 30 hp...

(Me?I hope to find out soon)

  Great! That puts my mind at ease. I wonder how the car handles with that K75 engine?

BTW, that is a nice    looking front end on your 126, Kowalski. Did you buy some sort of body kit to do that?
