F5M42 gearbox

[RichardB]

Do any of your Galants use the F5M42 gearbox?

I know the eclipse does, so does the FTO and the V6-24V Galant sold in the UK, The reason I ask is that Im looking for a dog gearset for one. As Im running one in my FWD 6A13 Mitsubishi FTO.

if anyone knows where to get a dog box conversion gearset from it would be greatly aprechiated :)

[gtx]

Did you look at the ones made for EVOs?

[RichardB]

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but some of you may know my FTO drag car and the developments its been through, from standard FTO to 6A13TT to 6A13T running 660bhp, now evo engine running almost 1000bhp.

During this time I've developed many custom parts for it and one is an F5M42 Dog Box. This cost me quite a few £'000 to design and develop and now that I've switched to the EVO box it of no use to me.

Unfortunately I damaged it when my clutch let go, so it needs a new 5th gear, and possibly input shaft (you may get away with the input shaft as the clutch still fits it) for that reason I'm letting go very cheap, £1750 for the dog kit if anyone is interested.
Both http://www.glebe.co.uk and http://www.eliteracingtransmissions.com have said they would be able to re-manufacture the parts required, and I've used glebe to replicate some of the existing gears when I wanted to change ratio's and they were about £200 per gear at the time. So it should be a cheap fix.

The gear ratios are

1st 2.846
2nd 1.941
3rd 1.391
4th 1.037
5th 0.833
