<p class="MsoNormal">For my street/track days GT6 (Col. Mustard), I used a Toyota gearbox conversion from Conversion Components in New Zealand. There was a little weirdness with the badly sized slave cylinder, but other than that I was very happy with the
kit. I have no idea whether he’s still in business, as this was a pretty long time ago now.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 tired of that.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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 missing too much
track time at races.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For RACING only, can anyone give me pros and cons of the conversion. Looking at the Vitesse Mazda conversion.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">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)
