Just looking at the Saleen site. http://www.saleen.com Check out the S7. Wicked car. I am wondering what they are using for a transmission/transaxle. This is all I saw for the specs:
DRIVETRAIN Transmission: Longitudinal, 6-speed all synchro-mesh transaxle Transmission Ratios 1st 2.46 2nd 2.06 3rd 1.47 4th 1.18 5th 0.958 6th 0.74 Final drive ratio 3.22 Limited slip differential Light-weight inboard and outboard tri-pod joints High torque capacity steel halfshafts Clutch : metallic 5.5" dia., 4-plate, hydraulic actuation |

I'll check my records, but I believe it is manufactured by Ricardo. Also, I believe the trans is ahead of the axles similar to a Corvette, except that it has a bellhousing. I remember looking at the S7 durring a display at Willow Springs (P-car track day, I believe it was), and took notice of the transaxle. It looked very long, which is why I believe the gears are ahead of the axles. Notice how long the rear deck looks on that car. Anyone?
If cost is not too much an issue for you, you can look at the Quaife 6 speed sequential transaxle. I can post their site tomorrow. Andy |

ZF will fit, don't need to mess with uncharted territory, it'll hold a bit more power as well. (way bit!)

I looked at my first EMCO transaxle this past weekend. It was developed for the mid engine Daytona Prototype cars... stand back.. it was 35k$'s base price. Sequential 6speed full throttle upshift.

further reading.....Ford specific bellhousing is part of the transaxle casting, so no easy Chevy V8's conversion... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
