sounds right considering your forum name

:rofl:

There is obviously something I'm not seeing here.
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)

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
