I think the less attention from Mr. Plod the better it will be for all.

Hi Muzza, yes, I have sourced the correct-spec gearbox for the car. It's the 6 speed Tremec TR-6060 'MG9' variant as fitted to the ZL1 Camaro and current model VF GTS. The gearbox features oil cooler support which is nifty. I wonder if you'd need to run a trans oil cooler in such a lightweight car?

t's available locally. Just under $3K to my door (brand new) and it includes an integrated bellhousing.

I just haven't bought it yet!

I think I have the same g'box behind my LS3 and I was told that if I did not want to run the cooler then I had to plumb the outlet to the inlet else the g'box oil pump could cavitate. So I elected to fit the cooler.

Also, the cooler kit as supplied actually mounts the cooler to the side of the gearbox, so that is where I put mine.
