A month or so ago while at the race track I met a fellow there who built and repaired race car transmissions. The trans that he sells is used on a open wheel formula Renault
car. I'm not sure what the proper class name is that they run in. Anyway, the trans looked awfully good to me so I talked to the fellow named John Grubb. He was very knowledgeable and told me about the trans. It seems to have been made by Renault just for this type of racing. They are six speeds with sequencial shifter. He assured me that his trans could handle an excess of 500HP. I was most impressed with the cost at $10,200 including the sequencial shifters. There was also a selection of six different gear sets for this box.
I have not followed up any further about this trans as far as fitting measurements but it does look like it should work. Here is the web site. There is lots of info here but I didn't see anything pertaining to this peticular trans. If you have an interest then you will have to call them.
This just another possibility that I thought would be good for us to know about. Perhaps one of you more knowledgeable members will call and get the technicals for fitting it to a GT. http://jandjracingltd.com/
