T25 5speed

The T25 5 speed is a very long and for the size, not strong gearbox. Plus it has the shifter at the side of the box instead of at the nose cone.
The shift pattern on the 5 speed T25 is also a dogleg 1rst (same as 901).
The early 4 speed T25 gearboxes are supposed to be good for over 200bhp but the 5 speeds have a weakness because of the extra long pinion and main shaft to accomodate the extra gears.
