[Fot] T50 gearbox CVAR and my GT6

[Larry Young]

Bobbie,
Would you please clarify?  Most of this thread has assumed you are 
installing a GT6 gearbox.  I thought you were installing a TR4-6 
gearbox.  I don't know much about the GT6 box, but understand the 
reliability issues are like night and day.

Going through CVAR school and tech this past year, the 'issue' of my Toyota T50 gearbox was noted as an item that needed to be replaced. Now, Bob Davis had this extremely detailed catalogue and CD of the build process but I never had actually SEEN the gearbox in place until last night.

The gearbox itself is about twice the size of the little Triumph box. I lost sleep last night knowing I would call CVAR President George Curl and plead my case to leave the T50 although I've already bought a Quantum Mechanics box.
