Hopefully it's not a re-post, but found this the other day:

Good info here with gear ratios and part numbers.
Why it's not strong enough for a mid-engined sports/kit car such as GT40:

I'm still dreaming of my own GT40 so don't have anything yet. :lipsrsealed:

Don't see the EDIT POST button anywhere. Maybe I'm blind. Sorry.
Just wanted to say, that I'd actually like to use an Audi box as a good buddy of mine works only on Vdubs and Audis so repairs and such would be real convenient if needed.
I'd really be interested to hear how many miles you have on your 016 or 01E and what motor you're running on it.

Found a pretty good post elsewhere on transaxles.

Good detailed info on the Renault UN1 as used in Lotus cars:

Found some really good info on the ZF transaxles:
Schaltgetriebe | GetriebePro
Even shows spare parts. All in German though. Click on the appropriate ZF box listed in the left column under "Schaltgetriebe".

I am going to be using an Albin AGB10 inverted, 6 speed Squential
No Mendeola option huh?
We are using them in our GTM race cars and they are superb. They have taken serious abuse and just keep right on going.
They are the new factory option from Factory Five Racing for the GTM kits. Very sturdy SDR for $7500. Don't know if they will be able to offer this to non FFR customers or not, but it might be worth calling them.
619-710-8800 ex 110
Talk to Ian.

Too long...
I have a mendeola case here (and have had for about two years) and the only car we make that it would fit in is the SL-C and the Ricardo is the box of choice at the moment for them....
Mike careful with your advertising...Big Ron don't like that too much..wink.

I don't work for Mendeola, and I have no contracts with them of any sort.
They simply make the box that is in the car that I race....that someone else owns.
I am relating my experiences I have had using the box, that's all. I get nothing out of these posts what so ever...besides some small entertainment value.
Now the other parts I posted about, which are NOT made by Mendeola and can NOT be had by speaking with them, I am judging interest on, have had a discussion with Ron already, and do not intend to cross any lines on advertising. If it's worth it to me to become a vendor to sell some of my proprietory parts on here then I will do so before soliciting for those parts.

Ah....I see.......relating your experience with a phone number, price and a contact name...:lipsrsealed:

No. So that would fall under "Other/Not Listed". To my limited knowledge no Mendeola transaxles have been used in GT40s. I think the poll probably covers the most popular units.
