I believe it uses the RBT6.(Basically a ZF 5 speed converted to a six speed)

Correct, 6 speed. But Bill Tally ( Saleen ) has made a huge step forward supporting a customised development.
1) All gears are full filet grinded
2) Pinion and crownwheel as well
3) He upgraded the synchronisation of 1st and 2nd gear to double cone
4) Oil pump added for internal and external circulation
5) An intermediate bearing is added on the 2 shafts

Very nice job.....but only for Saleen. A lot of money has been spent for that exclusive lay out.

Ciao
