If you must for some reason use a GT6 gearbox:
If it looks good and everything seems in order I would use it without doubt.
For whatever reason, by comparison I have gotten the most miles out of good
old "barn find" unworked gt6 transmissions.
I've had many of them built by "the best".
Although It seems contrary to our greater "never be beaten by equipment"
philosophy...
The unworked original crappy ones have gone longer (for me) than the
"professionally serviced" new gear (usuallyTR7) and sychro ones.
In my own program, since I have to take them out after every race (Third
gear is usually all but toasted), I stopped spending the $ money on the
gearbox rebuilds and focused more on finding and using several good older
ones.
I can use the gearbox for the same amount of time for much less $.
Since I am struggling to survive in this sport of wealthy kings...
Its nice to SOMETIMES find the cheap way works.
Note: Friendly Ghost Racing is not responsible for recommending these risky
and absurd transmission choices of using a "barn find" unit. We only do
these things because the trans will break soon anyway.
Cheers!
