I can't see it happening with companies like this (link below), pushing the new technology. I raced against a car running this fuel at a Motorsport Festival on the weekend, and con confirm it is legitimate. Ex-F1 tech genius Paddy Lowe is behind it. https://www.zero.co/technology

Thanks Ryan, that's great research work to find it! Jean-Marc, they look very well engineered. Now I have choices! Thanks again for the replies

The ST170 mechanism seems to have led to a dead end. Are there any other recommendations for a good 6 speed lever mechanism to use with the Audi 01E transmission?

Does anyone recognise the shift lever and mechanism from the attached pictures? It's being used with an Audi 01e gearbox in an F40 replica. Otherwise, what is a good (robust) shift lever / mechanism to use with the 01e? Mine currently relies on a very small rod end with a similarly small thread...

Definitely not a home built car. Rodin cars have F1 spec facility, including their own on-site foundry and Ti printing. Oh, and their own on-site race track!

I have a Pace 40 in Melbourne too. Happy to help out where possible.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Rick, I'm building a Pace40 in Torquay. Feel free to get in touch.

Thanks. I've got the 3D model and a 1958 250 Testarossa body already, but thought the GTO would be more fun with 650hp on tap!

I have a VERY low mileage Ferrari FF V12 engine here that is waiting for a project just like this... if only I could buy a roller of the 250 ;)

These are very long engines too. Definitely worth checking for fit, including transaxle mounting face to output flange, plus bell-housing / adapter length.

Trans on it's own is around AUD$31k, but then you'll need a bunch of gear to make it all work.

Older pic, but you can see it fits in a GT40 pretty well.

Hi Warren. Have you considered the Holinger MFT? Australian made and supported, and rated to some ridiculous torque levels for 24hr racing. Mine is behind a twin turbo V8, and they reckon it's well within capacity. Not cheap, but an SL-90 is also in the upper end of the price scale.

Hi Lenny, There won't be anything available off the shelf. I've done this for both Ferrari 360 and 488 twin turbo V8s. You'll need to have something machined from billet. The difficult part is measuring the bolt pattern on the 348 engine, and modeling it if you don't work with CAD. I had to...

I'm interested to see more pics of how you mounted the MFT in the chassis, and the oil filter mount for the MFT. Great work, amazing engineering there.
