The issue here with too much throw against the clutch is not really a pressure plate issue, although I can see how this could come up too. The problem that most people see here is that the fork itself runs out of room in the gearbox and puts undue stress on the clutch fork ears that hold the...

I do not recognize this as being a Porsche gearbox id, but send me a picture if you can and I will be happy to help you with this. Erik Johnson GBox LLC (303) 440-8899 work

If exotic sound is what you are after try to find a front end crashed Audi R8 and then transplant the engine and transmission out that. Depending on the extent of the damage there is likely to be quite a few parts still good that you could sell to the Audi owners to help offset the cost. V-10...

This gearbox looks pretty similar to the one used the the Carrera GT as well. VERY Expensive. Pretty cool design though I would think it would work quite well in a GT40 as these are pretty space limited.

Hi Howard, I would always recommend using a pedal stop to ensure that you do not over throw the clutch and potentially break off the ears that hold the clutch fork in place, but you can control this by limiting the amount of fluid that you push through the system as well. I would recommend...

Hey there everyone, So I wanted to talk to everyone a little bit about clutch pedal pressure. As some of you may have noticed the clutch system for your car can be a bit difficult at times. Between getting all of the air out of the system and getting the correct Master Cylinder, pedal...

Perhaps I am swatting at the hornet's nest on this one, but I am having a hard time understanding why you don't simply purchase the adapter kit directly from Kennedy? They spent quite a bit of time working with builders to develop a number of adapters for the kit car market. It seems a bit of...

I think that you are going to find that an additional $8k for the electronics to operate the gearbox in a DCT is not going to be adequate. The one tool that I know of to interface with the gearbox and log the needed inputs has a cost of nearly this much, and that is only the beginning of the...

Welcome Jon, The SLC, as I am sure you have already noticed is a fantastic car. Fran certainly puts together a wonderful kit. I am sure that you will be very pleased with the end result. Let me know if I can be of any help to you as well. Regards, Erik Johnson GBox LLC (303) 440-8899 work

There are actually two gearboxes that will work quite well that have the same cost. Either the G96.00/01 which would be inverted to work in a mid-engine application, or the G86.20 which does not require inversion, as it is out of a mid-engine car. Axle geometry is the key factor here in...

I have a gearbox that is certainly strong enough to handle most engine combinations, so long as you are not force inducting it. Cost $3600.00 for open differential, and $5700.00 for one with one of the best Limited Slip Differentials made. Come and get it. I think what most people do not...

Hey there Scott, Just wondering what the gearbox in the middle is? Erik

Hi John, Keep in mind that Porsche will require a core return at that price, of $4500.00 and a used gearbox is likely to have issues with it, as well. We purchase these all the time and usually have to do a full rebuild on them. Part availability is pretty tricky, and difficult to come by...

Wow no takers on this one? That is kind of surprising given the number of people with Porsche gearboxes in their cars.

There is certainly nothing wrong with the 930 4 speed, other than it is a bit of a dinosaur now. The synchro technology makes it a bit difficult from a shift quality point of view, but you certainly can not fault the overall strength of these gearboxes for the most part, at least. Erik

I can not tell you what the replacement parts cost is for the Elite gearbox, I would assume due to its low initial cost that they would be far less expensive to rebuild than say the Porsche Sequential, or Emco. I can tell you that it is not uncommon to see a Porsche sequential rebuild cost...

I believe that it will indeed live without the cooling, but we like to include it for anyone who is even considering tracking the car. On cars like the GTM that have the exhaust directly above the gearbox, I would say yes cooling is a must due to the fact that the gearbox acts like a giant heat...

You can also use the G50 options as well. Let me know if this is more appealing for you as I can put a complete kit with gearbox and adapter together for you if need be. Erik Johnson GBox LLC (303) 440-8899 work

Scott, my thoughts on this would be yes you could use this in a street application, but keep in mind that sequentially shifted gearboxes require quite a bit more maintenance. They usually have a life expectancy of about 30 hours of use between rebuilds, which depending on the manufacturer can...
