sounds right considering your forum name ;)

:rofl:

There is obviously something I'm not seeing here.:confused:
The 6 speed gearbox conversion does sound like a lot of work. And if the bellhousing is cast integral with the gearcase it would be difficult to offer a conversion kit. Cost wise, how would it compare with a Rocky Mountain overdrive on a regular R380/LT230 combination? or for those requiring lower gearing,compare with lower t/case gearing, or even an Ashcroft crawler box?

Shame, I never had a problem with an H pattern dog box, could shift as fast as you could move the lever. (Hewland)

Those straight cut teeth must howl :D

Just bumping this.

This is the part that is giving trouble in the Mustangs, I'll dig up some links, I think there's aftermarket kits to address the shift mechanism failings already.

As per my previous post#93. If there are so many modifications involved and the conversion is unable to be supplied in kit form due to integrally cast bell housing, I don't understand the interest.

I think they would sell a heap of the sals compared to a gearbox!
Any timeline yet??
I would much rather an ashcroft rear locker than something else
