I think I started all this muckracking, so a question to help me out based on what I'm hearing: "Facts" - The GT6 trans was good when new, but really unreliable now after 40 years - Suitable alternatives are TR 3/4/6, T9 or various Toyota - I have a typical spec GT6 4-spd with overdrive Questions: - Am I better off swapping the base unit out during the build or giving it a chance? - Is OD of any use? - From my read of regs, a five speed is allowed as an alternative when replacing a 4spd OD unit, as long as 5th gear is < a 1.1 ratio. If so, what's my best option? Thanks, Chuck Watson _______________________________________________ fot@autox.team.net http://www.fot-racing.com Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Unsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/fot-archive@autox.team.net |
