I just bought a used GForce T5 box from a fellow racer. He's sheared the dogs off 3rd gear so I'm going to be on the phone with G-force about parts soon. I'm anxious to see how expensive the repairs are.

Here is your solution to the rear diff problem. This is a complete subframe solution that eliminates the PPF.

I just ordered one I'll let you know how it turns out when I'm finished.

I have a couple of applications running around with the G-Force T5.
So far it's been very good. Well worth the price for what you get.
As for the shifter location if you use the early Nissan 'Z's' tailhousing since those cars used a T-5 from factory it will place the shifter approx. 4 inches rearward.
Here's a pic of the tailhousing from early camaro T5.

great info, thanks, had i knows that I would have used an old Z t5 housing instead of the cobra R one I got my hands on.

Anyone ever used a gearbox from this company? http://www.libertysgears.com/
Im looking into maybe getting the TKO 600 gearbox. But im not sure if it will handle 600rwhp and 9000 rpm.
I hope i can use your thread for this Damian

Thanks for the informative thread damian. I'm looking at various dogbox options for my 1st Gen racer. The T-5 option looks good. Shame they don't do a dog engaged 0.82 fifth gear. That ratio would suit my setup well.

Amazing. So would it be possible to have helical style gears put in? Would that completely defeat all the strength of the box? Would it decrease the noise considerably or is the noise being created elsewhere?

They do helical gears too (syncro and dog ring), which are supposedly stronger than stock T5 gears, but are at less of an angle so will make more noise than stock, not as much as straight cut gears though.

Well, since I'm also a member of the "Sheared off part of 3rd gear in '08 club" (at MAM), I'm very interested in the sturdier transmission.
I got a deal on another trans, but at $350 a piece it'll take quite a few to get to this level. And I still street my car for now, and even though I don't care about that gear noise at all (I actually kind of like it) I'll probably wait a few years before I get to this level.
You're inspiration as usual Damian, keep up the good work and I'll see you at MAM next time you're there and hopefully my transmission holds together, I know yours will :-)
