And I'm almost sure it is with a M32 gearbox

The European Market version you can buy today does. Word is that that other powertrains will be used in different markets, including when it is finally released in the US.

Qualife will re work your tranny for free and install the gear set. There are a few extra parts during the install that are not able to be re used. So for the purchase price of the gear set, and then shipping to get your tranny re worked, in addition a few more $ for the non re usable parts.

PM us if you would like to get this going on your transmission

These cars just took a huge hit in value because of the new ss/tc that is coming. So your talking about a trans that is going to cost more than a 1/4 of the value of the car.

My vote..if they could drop the price to 3500(with lsd cause i don't see why anyone would replace the trans and not get a lsd)...which i'd still consider expensive becasue it isn't proven, they would probably be able to move a lot more units at a smaller profit, but atleast they would move.

Whoever at quaife that thought this was a good idea at that price range really dropped the ball here. Most people that own these cars are probably 17-25..most of them with little money to spend on car upgrades because of school bills, car payment..ect.

Another idea is scrap this 6spd idea and make a stronger 5 spd unit with diff gear ratios and a lsd for less than the price of a brand new unit.

i understand where your coming from but you realize that the people that get new gearboxes already have run out of other mods, its not one of the "essentials" like exhaust or intake so they dont need to make it competitively priced. There isnt a whole lot of need to replace stock gearbox until your pushing a lot more power than stock (turbo conversion)

There is a lot of benifit to this setup. Some spend 2000+ on wheels for looks, well this is actually performance and does IMO more than wheels

They are stating it is over 25% stronger than the OEM gear set.

The case is strong enough, it is the OEM gears that are allowing movement, putting extra force on the case. By having stronger gears this shouldn't be the case.

In addition to what Aaron said , its the Axles that causes the crack in the Bellhousing when the car is wheel hopped . Aftermarket axels or GM's new 2008 SS axles would resolve that problem . GM worked to eliminate the bad harmonics transmitted thru the axles that cracked the case in the bellhousing when the car was wheel hopped .

The F35 isnt a fragile little flower , it will actually take far more than stock power levels .
