can anybody tell me what the strongest manual transmission that will bolt into a capri is? thanks

[WashiestSnake]

The transmission in the XR-2 is the strongest of the two being as it can be made with better internals, and a LSD. It has some bad problems with twisting from high torque that the LSD fixes.

So there is no stronger transmission out there? What is the transmission code?

It has a weak differential, which the LSD fixes. Once you get into higher powers (idk, 300,350+) you still have case flex issues which causes 3rd gear teeth to shear off

Look on Clubprotege. There's folks who use an adapter plate to run a Toyota transmission. The axle combo works on BG cars so you will have to get creative to run it in a BF

can you have the gears sent off to hardener them to make them stronger? 

[Rocketman]

Yes but you're still going to have to contend with all the other issues such as shaft and case flex. Hardening gears will only do so much
