New transaxle from 6XD

[Lee Patterson]

Yea, sorry bout that. Got my transaxles mixed up.

Pretty understandable actually, Lee…

I’m going to dig around/ask around about these newer ( and longer) transaxles and
see if I can’t get some more information and possibly pictures of how the chassis gets
modded to accommodate the length…

Let me know when they have sold 500 of them.

Ive looked into the 6XD Gearbox group, and they have over 500 units sold worldwide, turns out they have the strongest sequential on the market, handles like 1800ftlbs! So far Ive seen them in TransAm racing series, and Time attack, the FL2K big power builds seem to have a fair amount of them also, and those guys/builds are pushing over 3000whp, Im excited to see what other places these unit are being used...

^^ Same here!
I wrote inquiring about the Overall Length and also a ballpark Cost…
So far, no response……..

I have rec'd info form them when emailing thru their website! they were actually very informative, they said the MTX was made just for the Superformance GT40 builds! So they do fit in GT40s based on a call I made to Vs performance in Cali, they build many of the Superformance GT40 builds, they said needs some minor mods in the rear bumper area, but they do fit, and they have a quick change rear built into them holly hell thats awesome!

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 !

Yes and they confirmed they handle 2000ftlbs for the BIG BOY builds, and amazingly these units have a quick change inside the back cover!!! So for track days this would be amaaazing

I found this info from the 6XD peeps! good info from them, they seem really legit!

Can't find the dimensions, but it looks about 6" too long.

I found this info they sent to me, hope it helps, theyre already in SuperFormance GT40 builds, so it must fit lol It has a quick change rear also built into the rear cover they said, sounds amazing
