Right on time, it's the spring transmission debate! :-)
For my street/track days GT6 (Col. Mustard), I used a Toyota gearbox conver=
sion from Conversion Components in New Zealand. There was a little weirdne=
ss with the badly sized slave cylinder, but other than that I was very happ=
y with the kit. I have no idea whether he's still in business, as this was=
a pretty long time ago now.
Like you, I got damned tired of changing the trans. I got it down to where=
I could have the old one out and the new one in in under two hours. Got t=
ired of that.

Subject: [Fot] TR4 5 speed conversion
FOT members, I am at my breaking point with transmissions for my racing TR4=
, six rebuilds in past 4 years, the last 4 professionally. I try to keep my=
car as original as possible, but this is costing too much, and I am missin=
g too much track time at races.
For RACING only, can anyone give me pros and cons of the conversion. Lookin=
g at the Vitesse Mazda conversion.
I know it is not "legal for vintage" but I still want to race and within my=
budget!! (Don't know what my budget is)
Thanks, Mike
