Isn't this third broken track car box in few months? Maybe you should start to seriously consider T56 conversion or we ran out of later type manual boxes. In meantime I'll trade this to your cars engine. Shipment is on me

Mark I have my 1987 5spd with the engine out for now. I am very fond of her as you know ..... so it would have to be a heck of a trade for me to want to pull that gearbox out and send it. If you are that desperate, I'd pull her and send her to you ...... that is the best I can do for you sir.

"About how much torque is your car putting out? 486hp 451 torque
"Is it a stock motor?" No

The T56 looks interesting but it would not be legal for most of the racing I do.

Vilhuer- As for trading my engine for your trans, I will have to pass on that. I think I can by a complet GTS for what that engine cost me to build but thanks for the offer.

Speaking of the Motodyne T56 6-speed 928 trans, there's one on ebay right now so it MUST be legit:

Mark, it would be very uneven trade I know. Sad fact is that you might need to buy complete running car if you want to get gearbox quickly. Maybe it would even make sense financially. Sell everything else away and get box for free.

Sorry to hear this Mark. I feel your pain. I broke my gearbox at Thunderhill a couple weekends ago. I was about to call you guys to see if you had one in stock. Doh.

Dennis: I thought it was the differential that went bad...? I'm sorry to hear it was more, or something more epxpensive than that...

Are you coming to the go-kart race tomorrow?
