MFT Holinger for GT40

[Warren]

Here’s a cutaway of the MFT. Quite a few are going into GT40s in Europe to replace the ZF/ZFQ. 6sp sequential, straight cut gears dog box. Strong and race proven.

I have some photos from when I visited the factory with the local sports sedan club the other year, pre covid.....
Ill see if I can find them and upload them here.

Great gearbox, and the folks at Holinger here in Melbourne are very helpful.

Old pics, but here's mine during the build on the twin turbo Ferrari 488 engine for my 40.

Still ticking along Brian, I took a year off working on this car but am back to finish it. Stay tuned for some updates very soon.

'Quite a few are going into GT40s in Europe to replace the ZF/ZFQ'

Surely this box will not comply with FIA htp specification?

True but the huge expense of constantly rebuilding a ZF/ZFQ for a track car is nuts and when the loss of track time too is frustrating. I can still do enough events without FIA rules.

MFT Holinger, popular ZF replacement for GT40, Pantera, Lamborghini, and BMW M1.

how cool is that thread where the side plate for the diff goes in. I wonder have they thread milled that with the CNC millining machine.
I know that the middle casting is multiple wall as well, as the opening on the top goes into a separate cavity. It provides extra triangulation and support for the main pinion bearing support.
I suspect that if it's not done that way, you would end up with a very heavy casting, and casting issues, whilst trying to maintain the required pinion area support.

The front and rear main castings are drilled and threaded together, meaning you can't swap out the front casting half for another with an integral bell-housing. Ask me how I know...

These are very well thought out designs.

Built for a ZF bellhouse for a 302 Windsor

Fits perfectly to replace a ZF or ZFQ, 65kg lighter than ZFQ and shorter. CV’s driveshafts will be around 15mm offset from centre.

Not ready for Bathurst Challenge in ‘23 but there’s always next year.

Gents,

What does this gearbox cost? I have 2 ZF's and are looking for alternatives.

Thanks

Trans on it's own was around AU$31k in 2020, plus then there are all the extra bits like paddles, compressor, sensors, etc that'll run another couple of grand. Then you have to think about slave cylinder, bell-housing or adapter, etc.

$36k MFT and then start adding the bits to install so my guess is add another $10k ish.

A very Nice piece, with a price to match!

Holinger sequential gearshift fits perfectly to replace the Gelscoe H pattern shifter that’s been in my SPF.
