    Gear box replacement/modern alternative

    Hi guys, Can anyone advise me on a modern replacement gearbox for my 29 A speedster. Currently I get arount 98mph using a high speed diff and three speed box but I think if if change to a 4 or 5 speed box i can improve. Also it will make cruising easier on the revs. Thank you in advance.
