If the one that's in my car now gives up the one on the garage floor will go straight back in and I wouldn't be surprised if that's the end of my gearbox trouble. It's taken everything I've had to throw at it N/A and Turbo and I'm talking about 3500rpm clutch dumps in 3rd gear to get the thing sideways at Queensland Raceway, it's tough!

How much!?!!?!
TKO500s or 600s?
I'm banned so don't bother linking.
But if it's a good deal I'll make the effort to proxy up and try and get in on it

Ok, I got a bit more info on transport.
Found a source in California that can do a TKO600 for $1890 US with shifter. The bonus with it being in Cali, is that is where everything will be shipped from, so freight from the parts shop to depot will be very little. For those who are interested I can send you PM with details of supplier, I don't have it on hand nopw, left it at work.
Ok, with the freight. They are now saying $450 from cali to Melbourne, all customs and clearances included. BUT !, does not include insurance and GST. Not sure if you can get away with GST or not if it is classed as a "gift" if there happens to be a birthday card in with the associated paperwork.... ?
Not sure about you guys, but I am wanting to have insurance ! So will research up on that. Oh, the $450 is for a full pallet to, not per box....
We can have parts shipped from everywhere and they can consolodate everything onto one pallet and send it al together.
So, would still like to get together the FULL cost of everything before we make any decisions.... ie local or US.... and weight it all up.
Cheers.

If you are going to a 3.9 with the better engine, this is the combination that I would suggest. New TKO 600 (5008 with .64 OD),New Tremec bellhousing, New sandwich plate, New starter, New ACE 11'' special billet steel flywheel, New 11'' pressure plate with a billet steel base plate (no distortion at high revs and explosion proof), New 11'' HP clutch plate, New gearstick and knob, New 31 spline yoke, New mount and crossmember to suit, New speedo gear. @ a total cost of $5920.
With this kit you can reuse the clutch fork, clutch cable, tailshaft etc and the gearstick will be set up to go through the same hole in the floor and console and furthermore the clutch will hold 600HP with ease.
This will leave you with a complete V8 T5 kit that you should be able to sell on the open market for $2000 leaving you with a very cost effective upgrade to your car. Regards Mal
