Default T5 gear kit

Anyone know about this gearkit on ebay for T5 box.
They recon its stronger than the standard gears in a cosworth T5 and are used in TVR tuscan race cars??

Anyone had any experience?

The ad is misleading, I'm 99.9% sure all the cossie ones were WC anyway, exactly the same as tvr used.
It's not as easy as saying as used on T5 etc as there are currently listed over 260 different combinations.
Also used in mustang, camaro, S10, shed loads of GM and fords, as well as SSANG YONG MUSSO and KARRANDO!!

Has anyone had dealings with Elite Transmissions of had one of their boxes.
Only they do a sequential box capable of 500ftlbs at 5K which seams quite reasonable, not that I can afford it just yet, just interested to know if they are any good?

elite are ok , crap service , no flat shift facility , agricultural change but benefit from Drop gears so you can alter final drive in the box .
you get what you pay for mate .
Just buy one of my Damn Quaife dog boxes and be done with it !
ready for your exh bit now too
