I see you missed a gear shift there buddy !
Some of the guys here Stateside have taken the tranny appart and have the internal gears "Cryo-ed" Basically freeze hardened and it works well. But with the new tranny swaps we have going on as projects now we will no longer need for this.

Working prototype of a T56 6 speed Tranny out of Americal V-8's (Mustangs, Camaros, Ect) and the new project the Supra Box.

Perhaps a fraction less abuse will help it live longer.

The RX 7 conversion is good, did it 12 months ago and you can get good ratio's for them. Also made a quickshift and turfed all those nylon bush's. Shift is slick and tight, better than the Sports Option Box and much stronger. To get the box up high enough for the correct tailshaft angles and alignment you will have to massage the tunnel a bit.
