- As I recall, the Spitfire gearbox is not a bolt on to the GT6 engine. I believe the input shafts and bell housing are different. The cases are the same, so putting a J type OD on a GT6 3 rail box is

- I can't help you with the 3 connections, but have another thought. Be sure to run a new, heavier gauge charging wire to the solenoid. The stock wire isn't very large, and may not handle the added ou
