[Fot] Gt6 transmission

[Scott Janzen]

Dennis, I think I have one off my ’68 race car, but I have no idea as to the originality.  I think pinion flanges on the diff vary somewhat with the gear ratio, too.  If you can tell me the flange dimensions for both ends I’ll take a look.  This one came out when I switched to a TR6 transmission.

Also, any good driveshaft shop can easily make one up, to whatever specs you want.  Should not be expensive.  I don’t know these to be a point of failure though, so my guess is with new u joints a stock one should be fine.  The items on either end of the shaft, however, are certainly over-stressed and fail with some degree of frequency, particularly a stock GT6 transmission (and don’t let anyone tell you their upgraded rebuild will prevent that!).

I’m looking for a transmission/drive shaft for a 68 GT6 MK1. Does anyone know of one for sale?

Also, are there any heavy duty upgrades or conversions available?

I have had a Ford T9 transmission conversion on order with Moss since August and there is no indication if it will ever ship. 

Thanks in advance
