Default tremec xr3r gearbox fit yb? difference from T5?

would a tremec xr3r box like this work with a Yb?

Is it a stronger box and is it geared different at all?

It wouldn't be impossible to get it to work, but would need a one off bell housing, or adaptor, as it secures different to the T5, there are a minimum of 380 versions of the T5, it's even used on the SANG YONG MUSSO for example!!
The ratio's would be very widely spaced in comparison to a cossie T5, which you can get alternate gear kits for anyway.
As a financial proposition it's a no go, rebuilt T5 a lot better, financially and gearing wise.

what power are you aiming for? the t5 is a strong old box; most are run way above what they are supposed to be rated too!

dont over complicate something that doesnt need to be over compliated is my advise.

bit overkill for a t34 though dont you think? and bloody expensive

madrod runs a tko600, but then he does have over 800hp

Id just stick with the T5....They take plenty of abuse that a T34 can throw at them.

exactlly, I was wondering if there was a 6 speed varient which would be cool as fook to be honest, and different to every other road going useable saph, plus might not cost much as cossie t5's are getting expensive now days!

Matt i spose, does anyone know the ratios of a t5?

Example at 7200 rpm what speed would you be doing in 1st to 5th?

cheers

i suppose it is. iirc they are about £1700 just for the box. how many people stay at the horsepower they have. not many! fit and forget.
