DeTomaso Mailing List: June 2001, Message #94

Hello Dean
I was thinking about the Porch gear box but figured it would be as expensive
or more than the ZF 6 speed. I found 1 listing for a 6 speed transaxle at
the Ultima kit car site. http://www.ultimasports.co.uk/usa/pricesc.html
It is $6800 for a six speed. The price is right compared to the others but I
haven't been able to find any more information.
Any other internet sleuths having better luck finding information on the
Getrag 6 speed?
Nolan
