Ultima Tranny options???

[puder]

Whata re all the ultima tranny options?

G50, G50/52 (what any other models???)
Getrag (what unit, where to buy???)

I have heard you can use Huelins but what model?

Has anyone used a sequential gearbox???

You can fit several different transaxles. Most people go for one flavour or other of G50, although the Getrag seems to be gaining in popularity (although it's a lot more expensive).

If you want to go more up market, the Hewland DG300 is a good option, although more appropriate to a race car than a road car. If you have the budget, you can go for one of their sequentials too. I know that Bob Light ran with a Hewland sequential (not sure which model offhand) in his Stealth (which is a development of the Ultima), and it seemed to go very well.

It all depends on budget though. A DG300 will set you back about 8,000GBP new (5000 second hand), a sequential more like 10-12,000GBP, whereas a G50 will only cost 1,500-2,000GBP.

The GT Car of Coiln Blower
has a Quaife Sequential, but has had alot of problems with it. Would not recomend it.
Don't know about the gemini.
