Default Custom 6=Speed 968 gearbox for sale

I'm selling my completely redone by Advanced Automotion gearbox. It has custom 3rd thru 6th gears and Wavetrac limited slip differential. All syncros. seals and sleeves have also been replaced. The Transaxle has 0 miles. Still strapped to the pallet it was shipped on. It was intended for my V8 968 that has since been sold. no other items beyond the transaxle box is included. It cost me $5990 (4490 for the rebuild, 300 shipping and 1200 for the transaxle). Selling for $4K. You pay for shipping and make the arrangements.

Thanks

Jpr

How do the ratios in this unit relate to the standard transaxle ratios?

i went back and forth on it, but after a bit of agonizing, decided on running the slightly taller, 1.23 3rd.

which reminds me, i need to order a spare set of those up gears.

ya'll need to experience the glory of supercar ratios on 3000 lb 968!!

couldn't be happier.

i'm at about **104mph at 3000 rpm in 6th.

5th is great too for state highways, uphill climbs, etc. you're always in the perfect gear.


*i'm running a taller 1.23 ratio for 3rd for the few extra cubic inches i have on my v8.

**speed running 285-35-18s with about 2/3 their original tread.

Are those ratios only good for higher horsepower cars?

yeah,

one of my alleged criminal activities might be having shocked 2 or 3 enemy combatants with short 70 to 125mph passes using 3rd and 4th gear.... or if i'm extra lazy, using 4th gear only.

i would never encourage anyone to do this–or endanger the public.

but, if you have a car that handles like F1... and there is light traffic

–one might be tempted to occasionally stray into the gray area.....
