Zico should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Anyone have any experience of the Glebe T5 transmission as used in racing TVR's?

We came across a very reasonably priced 2nd hand but unused Glebe (Borg-Warner) T5, heavy duty, close ratio, dogleg gearbox which is rated to 500bhp and 465 lb/ft torque. It was developed for used in racing TVR's and is way overkill in terms of handling the power we will be putting thru it. (only 293 bhp & 230lb/ft torque) Its a bargain price for spec compared to similar power rated transmissions but we'd just like to be sure that it deserves its reportedly good reputation. It is to be used in a Grp4 Escort rallycar.
See further down the page at http://www.glebe.co.uk/fdev.htm

Anyone have any experience with this particular box?

Thanks in advance..
