What drivetrain are you using?
- Thread starter ViperJustin
- Start date
I am using a Toyota V6 with a G50/20 6speed LSD. It will be twin turbo later and should have in the 500-550rwhp range when done. At first it will be NA and have like 225-250rwhp, so the lowest hp SLC I have seen.
For you Alex, yes. 
They used to be available, until the supply ran out. Now they are much harder to find. Getting one from a recycler or personally-owned wrecked vehicle is probably the only way to source one now.
Ricardo never sold them direct to the public, Ford is holding on to the very few they have left, and the person who had a factory pipeline of sorts passed away.

Thanks a lot Roger. I went to their website and their transmissions look interesting. The best thing is that they're based near San Antonio which is only a 5 hour drive or so from where I live in Texas. I could easily go down and visit them firsthand and get an idea of what they can do. Thanks again!
The only point I'd add to those trying to figure out what transaxle to buy is that you need to price out all the components you'll need, beyond just the transaxle. Clutches, starters, etc can be very model specific, highly consumable, and expensive enough to make an affordable option much less affordable, and an already expensive option even more expensive.
Hey there everyone,
Justin, for your HP and Torque I think that the 996 street car gearbox inverted with LSD would work quite well. However keep in mind that if you make upgrades to your HP and Torque in the future this may not remain the case.
Cost on a complete kit is actually quite reasonable for what you actually get. South of $11K which all said and done I think makes this one of the most affordable transaxle options out there. Artgirl is right though, and it is certainly not something that you want to forget while budgeting everything out. There are certainly gearbox options out there that after you piece everything else together are not quite the deal that they originally seemed.
Hope that this is helpful,

Has griffin started delivering units yet? Also has anyone seen a price list? This may have been mentioned before but I havent seen it yet. I dont doubt their ability to produce the product.......I just dont know about availability at this time.
Not yet.
Im still thoroughly confused on the G50 gearboxes. Do they all work? Seems like there are a number of different ones like 50/01,02,03,04,05,50,52 and maybe more but I'm no expert. I have heard that the 50 and 52 are stronger but thats just from reading around the forums. Im also looking for 500-550 hp with TQ in the 400's so I'm curious if any of those will handle the abuse.
I hope this helps more than it makes your matter worse:

Hey there everyone,
Erik here at GBox. I realize that there are quite a bit of options out there for transaxles, and there seems to be some confusion as to what will work for your particular engine HP and Torque combination. I would be happy to try to help clear the water, so to speak, if you want to give me a call or ask specific application questions. A lot of the options out there are going to be budget dependant but we can usually find something that will work well for most budgets.
Happy to help,
