5 Speed conversion TVR Taimar

[flyingdutchie]

I've just bought a Taimar in the USA and I hope everything will go alright with the transport. Meanwhile I was thinking and dreaming about improvements..

I understand that there are 2 (?) ways of getting a 5 speed in? Ford T9 V6 2.8 box or a Mazda RX8?

Ijn case of the Ford box....does it need to have a mechnical connection for the tacho? That question goes for the Mazda too.... With a couple of bores and some machining, the Original bellhousing should be oke? Flywheel and clutch also?

I am sure this has been on the forum various times....

Personally I would prefer Ford, because I would stay with Ford mechanics in a TVR. But I am open to ideas....

Thanks

You probably fitted an electric tachometer in your TVR with the RX8 box?
