Hi Rob,
sorry for the late answer, I have been on a business trip and afterward on
vacation.
The company I reported at that time does not exist anymore, however another
company took over the business. The new company is called LIMORA
(www.limora.com
- but in German) and they offer two different gearboxes, a 5-speed Getrag for
all TR2 - TR6 and a 5-speed Ford for all TRs except the TR5/250. The Getrag box
has the better quality. Both boxes are reconditioned, have a new bell housing
and a change in the shift lever linkage to meet the original TR box position.
And this comes with the kits:
reconditioned Getrag or Ford box (5-speed)
new bell housing
new clutch plate
rear crank spigot bush
new rear mounting plate
Necessary changes:
1. Getrag box
no further changes
2. Ford box
the prop shaft needs to be shorten
Prices for the conversion kits:
DM 3,900 for the Getrag box (currently $1,789)
DM 2,900 for the Ford box (currently $1,330)
I hope that answers your question, if you need assistance, let me know. Their
email address is limora@limora.com and they are able to answer in English (at
least that's what he told me).
Best regards,
Jochen Saal
Munich/Germany
