come as standard in a few of the vauxhalls we put 300-400 through the f28 (gartrag calibra 4x4 box converted to fwd) without to many drama's and some of the lads are now running around 500bhp

slicks 1.7 60 foot going on to a 11.4 without any dramas

but thats my only experiance of them never in ford form

I am pretty sure Euan and Rod run Gartrag boxs from a Jag, they run an adaptor plate so the bell housings make up. If its a good deal go for it mate, can allways sell it on.

I was thinking that as my job is manufacturing stuff for gear companies so I have heard most of the names but it could be there are 2 different ones with a similar name,

I think GARTRAG is a joint venture between GARTRAC (the makers of RWD Escort Conversions) and GETRAG (the makers of transmission systems).

Or maybe not.
