Have received specs. of the Richmond 6- speed close-ratio box. Its designed by Doug Nash and produced by the Richmond Gear Co. "The aluminum cased trans. is topped with a Leonard Long designed & patented shift linkage acknowledged to be the best in the industry." says ; Gran Turismo Jaguar in Ohio.
Does anyone know who Lenard long is famous for ??????????
And what has happened to Gran turismo ????
BOX RATIO's: 1st. 3.27 2nd. 2.13 3rd. 1.57 4th. 1.23 5th. 1.00 6th. 0.86.
Combined with my Jag. L.S.D.,I.R.S. back- end with 3.54. gears, this new box will make for a formidable set up in my old Jag. historic racer.
Have gone to glass front-end and bumpers, single feul-cell in front. end of the trunk.,- so am expecting longer life out of the heavy, front weight biased suspension, brakes etc...........
Thought I'd pass this on. Will report on the completion of the conversion.
