Chris, correct me if I'm wrong, after reading the the thread (!) it looks like a box will be in the £6K range plus an adaptor, starter motor and clutch (?)
I think you might find that people with a Gen III engine and currenty running a Getrag 6sp (G96) box might be interested as these box's are the weakest link (for even moddest power outputs 450ish). Ask me how I know! These box's are cable change so could the cables be kept for this application?

You can get a GT2 turbo box for that sort of money, although the gearing may not be as optimal...

Hi Graham

yes, this brand new ZFQ is £6000, and yes a cable change will be available.
Mike Quaife said that he rates this transaxle as the best one he's manufactured so far.
Production starts in the next two weeks and the first batch of 30 transaxles will be complete by Christmas.

Regards

Chris.

Questions:

Does it use the standard Porsche CV's or something else (Aka would we need to replace the half shafts)?

Clutch, flywheel, starter is ? (part numbers would be great here - or just pricing).

It would be great to have a full kit for the transaxle.

Hi

Yes the ZFQ will take stock Porsche CVs Ford and Chevy bellhousing's are readily available as the ZFQ fits the ZF bellhousing so starters and clutches will not be a problem

Chris, Will there be a sequential version of this box? I'm looking for something sequential that can handle my power.
