Recardo GT 650

[Bob Stoeger]

Morning Guys,
I have an opportunity to acquire 2 of these that are still in crates and are claimed to be new ! There is however no documentation to go alone with that ! I've researched all I can find on the GT650 but the one thing I can't find is a price range for them ! Does anyone have any ideas as to there value? Or any information that you can share on these boxes.
Any coments are greatly appreciated!
Bob

I contacted an engineer at Ricardo about these transaxles.

I took them in to RPM Transmissions in IN, they had never seen anything like them. I found 2 of them insanely cheap. I am trying to contact an original developer on the Ford GT Workhorse #1 build team for pics ot the installation.

I was able to find this photo, I'm sure he has more.

I found information on the clutch and schematics for it from AP Racing.

The shift mech is pretty simple. Pulled the rear cover to see the selector forks and just to see some of the internals.
