Freshly Rebuilt ZF

That looks very nice Steve.

Nice

I’m envious!

out of curiosity, why did you have Wilkinson do the work instead of RBT?

@joea I’ll speculate: time and money !

That's most of it.  Turnaround time was about 3 weeks.

What was (or is) Butfoy's turn time?  I had "heard" it was well over 6 months and that you couldn't get him even on the phone - but that is all 3rd hand BS off the web.  

Tom Todak is a member of OCPanteras and knows Lloyd Butfoy well.  At our meeting last week Tom said that if you call in the morning Pacific time Lloyd normally answers the phone.  The last time he was at Lloyd's shop he said there were about 20 ZF's lined up for rebuilds.  Tom also noted that there is a lot of demand for new RBT transaxles and ZF rebuilds from the GT40 world.  I know that Wilkinson plans on supplying GT40's with his forthcoming GTT transaxle offering.

thanks Steve.   Do you have any details on Wilkinson's transaxle offering?

Yes.  It is called GTT (Grand Turismo Transmissions).  Most of the parts are interchangeable with a Pantera transaxle.  The cases are stronger than Pantera.  You can order one with 3.77 or 4.22 (stock for most Panteras) ring and pinion, and stock Pantera gearing or a higher 5th gear .620 or .645 tall gear.  The differential is 70% locking (stock was 40%).  It is available for Pantera or flipped over for GT40.  Here are photos of it setup for GT40.

Wow  -  does Steve have pricing yet?

I think so.  I will check with him tomorrow and update this posting.  Many of the parts for it (and the Pantera transaxle) are on eBay now.

I spoke with Wilkinson and here is the current pricing.

Qty  1  - $21,000.00

Qty  2  - $19,350.00

Qty  5  - $17,400.00

Qty 10 - $15,500.00

Also, they are only available in 3.77 ring and pinion at this time.

thanks Steve.
