Goran , on this forum , asked me for some of the drawings I have regarding the T44 box. You might send him a PM and see if he has gone any further. Mike Teske has a number of them , although I think they are going to be used in his cars and I am not sure if they are finished. Send me a PM and I will give you his number.
Stewart, this box is really quite bullet proof. Don't know how you can poo poo it. The early problems were from over building it. According to one of the people who built the box, a second seal was installed on the input shaft that sealed the shaft too well. This heated the input to the point of failure. The were trying to keep the oil in the transmission separate from the oil in the ring and pinion. Once that was reengineered there were no problems. The ring and pinion in my box have been in there for 3 years and still look new. Try that with a Hewland.
