Reasonable quote???

[OLSCHL]

Thanks guys been looking in to the whole thing but yet to contact Warrick. Got the car back on the road...bloody roll pin on the gear box....

Well as mentioned the above quote was for a "non world class" T5 as suspected by Philm and 400TT. So is it true that the non world class variants have been giving grief to a few cob owners??

Does any one know where i could obtain a reco'd world class T5???

Does the AU XR8 use a world class T5???

Thanks once again for the help guys!

I'm not 100% sure of the "World Class" tag. Our old blue Cobra had a World Class box, it came with 1992 Mustang HO engine.

You've just got to make sure it's a T5 from a V8. So yeah, any Oz V8 T5 will be fine, quite a few Cobra guys up here are punishing these.

We've seen a few T5's fail in the club. It seems much more likely to fail if it's a 6cyl variant.

We've got quite a few guys regularly drag racing & circuit racing pretty healthy engines and still running T5's with not problems. Have a look at Peter's Gold Cobra photos I posted a little while back with him launching at the drags, he is running a T5.

Here is the good oil on WC T5's.

Anything less than a Word Class will not last for any length of time in a cobra unless it's driven by your granny.

It really is a great transmission. If you want to pump HUGGGEEE horsepower through it then it can be upgraded as detailed here.

Rebel,

Thanks for the extra info..had seen that website some time ago great little info package for a beginner such as myself!

In regards to the horsepower i dont think my 302 windsor on LPG would do much damage to a world class box but i stand corrected...

Cheers thanks once again,

Ive found a 5 spd tremec for a Ba XR8. Would that be similar in dimensions to the single rail i currently have? My main worry is of course where the shifter point comes through the tunnel as i dont want to be modifying the tunnel in any way!

I believe the bell housing patern is different on the new modular motors. Unfortunately these boxes also have the bellhousing intergrated into the gearbox casing as one unit. There's been a few of these boxes at some real bargain prices. It'd be great if they could be adapted up some how.

Cheers
