This one might actually be real
New transaxle from 6XD
- Thread starter colin artus
- Start date
Can't find the dimensions, but it looks about 6" too long.
The website still has a product listed as "coming 2021" and no mention of a transaxle for GT type application, only Corvette.
Providing its not SILLY Expensive and can cope with power levels...then I guess Quaife are going to have to up there game !

$20K plus probably as the standard front engine box they make is at least that.
I reached out to them once last week and on Monday this week. Crickets….
Another Transaxle farce.
They are busy working on the marketing materials first.
I think it’s real…
Haven’t got an answer on the length, but went back to the utube video link
(above) to read the comments. The answer to the Cost is in there, after that question
was asked by one of our own forum members…
Anyway, you best be sitting down if/when you go looking!

I watched the video. Clearly a "racing" gearbox which drives that price. He says the dimensions are the same as the "other" gearbox on the market and they designed it specifically for the GT40.
I Saw 36k out the door.
I guess then that Quaife have no problems !!!
Finally got an email reply back from the 6XD Transaxle folks ( Let’s call it the 6XD-MTX) .
(asked about the length and ballpark cost estimate)
Regarding the 6XD-MTX Length:
“It was made for the GT40 market, fits the GT40 Superformance and other
GT40 market builds and the Original GT40!”
6XD-MTX Cost:
“ $31k for the first 25 client orders / then market pricing will be $36k”
So…another (pricey) option but much better than no options at all !

Let me know when they have sold 500 of them.
I'm still trying to understand how it fits. It's about 6" longer than the ZF. In our car, the ZF only has less than 2" clearance to the subframe, and our subframe is right up against the bottom edge of the body. I'd like to see a picture of the installation.
I know the rear subframe on the SPF Mk I must be cut to clear a Quaife. This one must look like a missile sticking out the back.
Here's the video from Dan Long on the entire package. You were very close Bob - 5" extended back.
