The weak point in the 2lt or gtv 6 transaxle is the sungears in the
differential. A 250-300 hp engine will strip these gears if the car is
driven hard ( particularly if the engine delivers a lot of torque i.e.:v6).
You will need a twinspark transaxle, and this is still not failsafe on high
hp cars. The ideal tail shaft replaces the donuts with cv joints and a race
clutch will be required for hard starts.
The V6 in my alfetta sedan slips the clutch between 3rd and 4th under power
because its a standard clutch (and its near new). Soon my entire g/box will
crap its self so im readying to buy a twinspark.
Cheers,
