OK... 'nother question with intent...

My TRANSMISSION is an issue...

What is the kick ass Triumph transmssion for my GT6?  I've tried to stab a TR6 box in the space and I recall it is a major frame modificaion to allow the rear TR6 housing to squeeze in between the frame. CVAR only will allow  Triumph tranny.

The GT6 gearbox upgrade from Quantum is probably OK, but my ineptness may have come to light is I tried to remove my T50 Toyota 5 speed. Bob Davis had installed the hydraulic release bearing, and if I did anything wrong, it was not understanding the alignment of the release bearing on the clutch... 
I had metal shavings on my drain plug after less than 3 miles under driving conditions. I've stabbed an old early GT6 gearbox on to try to make Eagles Canyon next month... it was in the backyard in my parts bin..no top cover... and as I flushed it, there was some mice turds in it... I was wondering of the organic mice turd was preferred over the synthetic...
If I can just exhibit at some speed around the course and give the Miss America wave in last place of my heat, I'll be,,,   OK....

Peace guys!
