Back in 1985, when Commodores ran in 5.044 and 4.980 litre form at Bathurst, there was a massive hubbub over availability of Getrag gearboxes for private teams. Teams who had apparently paid their deposit, and build/shipping delays had not seen delivery. Except the MHDT, who were supposed to be delivering these gearboxes, seemed to have plenty for their own cars, and for their preferred customers.
It wasn’t until a particularly vocal Speedway man threatened to pull a gearbox out of 05 himself that one was made available to his team.
Weird then, weird now...
