Thread: This weeks addition of name that issue- Transmission related

  1. #11
    GTO gearing is a no-go. I'm told that the gearing is all the same, it's the mainshaft gearing that moves everything to a higher ratio. Don't really want that. I think I'm going to get the .80 setup and try it. Won't have time to do it before NOLA, and won't need 5th at Hallet (much), so I guess it will remain untested until TWS.

    Only other option is this company, which has cut gears for a .83 ratio, but it's a thousand bucks. 2.66 1.78 1.30 1.00 .83 .70

    It's tempting, as 6th would actually be useable if I ever went to a track bigger than TWS, and ran out of 5th gear. Not too far off from where 5th is now.

    Thoughts?

    Sorry to hijack your thread, I hope the new transmission you picked up will work out.

    Nooooooo
    James, I know for a fact that there are spare T56s hanging around a couple of people's garages. Alternatively, drop a 3.08 in it and you wont need 4th! Dude, you cant miss hallet!!

    I picked up a used T56 on Friday night for a good price. Shifted good on the bench so I spent Saturday putting it in. Feels good so far, so I will be going NOLA and hoping it works out.

    How many hours is NOLA for you James?

    It's 9 hours for me. Eight hours for Hallett.
