It's the unit from the ST220: Quote:
lightweight Durashift six-speed manual transmission, a completely new development from Ford-Getrag based on a three-shaft design with one input and two output shafts. It has two layshafts with the most commonly used gears ΓΆβ?¬β?? first to fourth ΓΆβ?¬β?? on one with dual synchros and fifth, sixth and reverse on the second layshaft, using a different final drive ratio.
This gives you the best of both worlds, with four short, closely-spaced ratios for hard acceleration and quick work around town and two longer-legged gears for better fuel economy on the open road.
It's similar in effect (although not in operation) to the old British Laycock de Normanville transmission, which gave you an electrically operated overdrive on third and fourth.
It's a lot slicker in operation, however, thanks to a counterbalance that reduces the synchroniser ring resistance felt during gear shifting. The shifting process therefore becomes smoother. The three-shaft layout allows a very compact transmission; the gearbox and clutch assembly weighs only 52kg.
I'm pretty impressed at the 52kg weight for the gearbox & clutch assembly. That's just under 115 lbs.

Whats that compared to the MTX-75?
I wish I had a gearbox like that. Most affordable passenger cars don't get the good stuff.

must say, that is a pretty sweet car and very nice setup! Love to see how it does once the issues are resolved.

MTX-75 is a very lightweight trans as well, I would guess it is similar in weight. It also uses a compact 3-shaft design. Other than the differential it is a very tough transmission, smooth shifting, etc. It suffers from less problems then transmissions from some other companies believe it or not. The 3rd gear syncho issues are mainly from the type of cheap lubricant that was originally used, i.e. straight ATF versus the better fluids.

Nice to see some numbers. Ever think of ditching the Rousch setup and go with a factory setup from a Svt and use a chip? Unless you get a hold of Rousch or Ford.

Ditching the stock system may be the way to go. I guess we'll see soon.

Mechanic hooked up a pressure gauge to see what's going on with the fuel. What it looks like is the fuel pump should be providing the required capacity & pressure. Pinch off the return and the pressure shoots up to 100 psi. The fuel pressure regulator on the other hand... It seems like the stock non-boost-sensing regulator is keeping pressures to the 40 psi range even under boost. An adjustable fuel pressure regulator with vacuum/boost compensating port may be the first thing to try. Anyone have any favorites? I've heard these are pretty good: http://www.fluidcontrol.net/pages/regulators.html
