[Billzilla]

Anyone, preferably local, make dog-shift selector conversions for the W57/58 gearboxes?

If you have to ask, you probably cant afford it
Over $5k i would imagine.

hey bill,

i am looking for a synchro'd 58 gearset also, and i have been talking to gohardbits in NZ.


well this is a reply email.

"Hello Andrew the gear ratio's are listed in the blurb about the gear kit on my website gohardbits.co.nz The 400 rwhp won't be a problem as we have them running more than that for a long period with no problems , yes we can do the full supply and install for you, would be looking at just over the 5 k NZD mark for a full 5 speed gearkit installed providing there is nothing needed in your box ie bearings, synchro's etc. We are out of stock of the kits at present but will be manufacturing more, what is your time frame for replacement?
thanks for your enquiry.
Merv."


5k supply and install is pretty good, one of the members here is running one of these. I cant remember his name, but he has the ke70 with 20v 1.8turbo race car pushing 300+kw at the treads.

dx20v maybe ?

Thanks guys.
$5,000 wouldn't surprise me in the least - It'd be a good $700 per ratio change and there's at least four of those, then the addition of the dog selectors.

Albins only show a synchro set - but it'd be worth emailing them to be sure

[Billzilla]

Will do, ta.

albins did 1 for use last year a 5 speed dog box and from memory it was 8 kay .this was with every thing replaced 5th is still 0.880 and has a quick shift kit that they made as well .
bill why not try to find a holinger 5 speed they are coming down in price as well

It's going onto the back of a Suzuki Swift engine, it's not going to line up anyway.

might be the same place i was talking about ED, it was 5k for me(quote) because that included them fitting it.

[Celica RA45]

i wonder if that is the same place that leigh forrest got his box from it lasted 2 laps and the hardening cam off the gears ,they fixed it and happened agian

[rick q]

A couple of posts up above made me think - why not send a pm to Kaspa on OzClubbies. He'd know of anything like that in NZ.

[Billzilla]

Good idea Rick.
