Been following this thread. Odd, with all the guys racing Cobras, that this is the first time this has come up. Also odd, that this started happening only after welding in roll bar.??? There's omething going on that we're all missing.

Upgrade engine and trans mounts to polyurethane to eliminate any flexing.???

Unless you need 5 gears in a race car, I'd go with one of Dave Key's toploaders. And talk to Dave about the problem first. If you do need 5 gears, go with one of the new Tremecs like the T-600. Again, buy it from someone who can put the pieces together such as Liberty Racing Transmissions to determine cause of failure if you break it.
