What gearbox H.O. rwd Cosworth?
 
Or can I just change stronger gearkit to T5?

What does H.O mean?

The best gearbox you could get, which is basically bullet proof, is a Tremec TKO600

High Output. :grin:

Does TKO600 change well in high rpm?
Who sells those and what price?

JamesH 05-04-2012 05:00 PM

Rod Tarry has one and I think he revs to 8200rpm or higher. You're probably best ordering one from America

LHD220Turbo 05-04-2012 06:19 PM

how much torque?

Don't know, engine is not ready yet. Somewhere between 700-800Nm I think. I'm hoping to finish it for the summer.

Rod's has been revving to 8900 up until recently without any problems with gear change :-)

Do you know what TKO600 Rod has?

Jasu 20-07-2012 05:32 PM

Found today Liberty's TKO600 with 0.64 fifth gear. Just need to find suitable diff with better ratio. :grin:

Mine has a .83 5th gear the .64 is not suitable with a very large gap between 4th & 5th almost like falling off a cliff. Its an overdrive gear in typical American style.

Jasu 24-07-2012 06:25 PM

True Rod, must be best to change the 5th gear.
I'm going to also use Sachs -765 PP with this one. That holds over 900Nm with sinter and is much nicer to use than multi-plate clutches.
