G-Force T5 gearkit feedback/tech?
Hey,
Ive had a quick search of the forums but have no luck so heres my question:
If anyone has experience with the G-Force T5 helical gears?
If so:
1) Due to the design of the bigger tooth faces, how loud is it compared to a standard T5?
2) Are they semi-helical or the angle exactly like factory?
3) Are they planning of producing a 0.8 OD? (or thereabouts)
Thanks heaps in advance.

Thanks Satanpez, I know about the G-Force site, but unfortunately it answers none of my above questions.
I have tried emailing them but have never recieved a response.

NSW, Australia? If so, welcome to another Aussie ! Look us up under "Local Clubs" on the top toolbar of this site.
Mike Long makes a truly world class product. The next manual trans that I buy will be the GF5R 5 speed G Force trans. Mike spends quite a lot of money on R&D to make sure his products are right to go - even before he has released them to the public.
As far as I'm aware, no-one on ClubCobra or FFCobra have used a GF T5 kit yet. Some of the Mustang guys at www.corral.net have purchased the internals, but I haven't noticed any feedback about them. Might be worth asking over there...

Vic,
You might want to look at your post on Corral. You posted asking about G-Tech.... That's the performance analyser that plugs into your cigarette lighter ! 
About your username - OZVENOM (a Brisbane Cobra builder) put a Tial wastegate and blowoff valve on his turbocharged Lexus V8 Cobra. Great quality stuff !!!
My car's fun to drive - it couldn't turn a corner to save itself, but it accelerates well... |

Tial, I would bet the gears are noisy. Think about a jerico. I have a 4 speed. They make a 5 speed. Scott

T5 gearkit
Having asked similar questions about the GFT5 Gearkit, some feedback from Transmission experts is they question the 500ftIbs of torque capability of a T5, I explained the make and GForce give a very approx idea on what they think this transmission might take given certain criteria!
I think a syncro version would be marvellous with a 0.90 fifth gear (when they make that), behind a very healthy 347 engine, but if was a potential bomb, I dont want to go Toploader as they are to restrictive with 4 gears, a Richmond would be strong enough, but general opinion is poor gear change. In UNZUD (NZ) a lot of guys run the super T10 trans for racing behind big horsepower 630+ mainly with a pump to circulate/cool oil, if they dont budget for a specialised track box.
I guess the bottom line is with the users and obviously being a relatively new product, not much feedback yet!

Have found out that the new G-Force casing to bolt to a Tremec 3550 pattern, not a T5...
Therefore the T5 gearkit is made for a Tremec 3550... very very strange if you ask me!!!
Does this mean that it won't fit 90% of users of T5 Mustang boxes??? Very strange...
