[twin turbo]

tremec is considered, but they need also to be uprated... and not sure he want to mod the Shell...

do you have a price for this mark cheers

You're looking at around 2.5-3k for one mate, at least that's the last time I looked into it

[twin turbo]

yes +modding to fit, need to be opened and uprated to handle higher rpm gearchange+++ good Box, but need some work too... it is on the table, but the best for him would be a t5 kit, he was going for one, but his Box was damaged in transport, and the price had gone up allot after the deal was agrreed... so he looking for alternatives now, since lost allot of Money allready...

Theres a reason Norwegian rs500 rally cross cozzehs used a German getrag box..mind you so did anyone who was into 2wd yb Motorsport back in the day..

I bet Bjorn skogstad didn't think how come my t5 keeps going kaput

[COZZFATHER]

In fact back in the day it was fit and forget with a getrag

[twin turbo]

yes but the getrag dont grow on trees... and they do break too, and hard to get parts, and expensive... I know I have one...

and 1:1 top gir, long first, no speedo++ dont make it "ideal" for normal driving..

[Cochyn]

Everything has a breaking point, but at 600bhp you're more likely to break it quicker. Would still favour the TKO box though, proven to take the abuse. And I don't mean by Rod and his 300 miles every 10 years Saph

[twin turbo]

yes tko is absolutly a option, but need to mod Shell(gearstick hole), and need to uprate that too to keep up With reving yb vs low rpm v8 the Box is made for... not sure why, but before the tko was a very popular Box here for the cossies, but later years fewer have used them...

how much futher forward is the tko shifter? have heard 34mm and then maybe it can be possible to move the engine to the holes behind on crossmember to compansate?


anyone tried the gearboxman gearkit?

[COZZFATHER]

Not in the 300- 550 HP cosworths I saw.. Trust me when I say in a works 3dr group a Cosworth a getrag was fit and forget.
Makes me laugh when people spend a fortune on a Cosworth and use a road car gearbox

[twin turbo]

yes they are strong, but it have been killed a few boxes over here... i knew of a man having 2 broken ones, and one off the rallyx boxes(old Gunnar kittilsen rs500) i know of now, have twisted inputshaft have been sitting behind a 508bhp engine all its life... I will never give mine up if it breaks Down, it will be rebuilde no matter.

the reason for roadcarbox is that the car should be mainly road use...

G-Force makes 600hp T5 kits. They are well known among the Mustang ranks.
