Great news Sean. Are you going to get it back this week?

However, 1-4 were done along with steel syncros, so this tranny should be very strong.

I understand the GT2 has a beefed up gearbox compared to the Turbos

Does anyone know what differences there are between the two gearboxes (in stock form)


Sean - What have you had done over and above the stock GT2 box?
What's the spec of the gears you've had installed?

Good to hear things are getting sorted

That's what I call 'paying to play'. But, really happy to hear you're back up and running (or will be soon).

I have a copy of the invoice, but need to rotate it to read.

I have pretty much gotten everything, replacement shaft, 1-4th straight cut gears, steel syncros. Correct me if I am wrong, but the other option is the 997 set up; this is fully aftermarket/race car set up.

Copan has a very good rep, and from what I have been told his prices are as good as anyone else.

Price seems fair -- not a considerable amount more than I paid for a rebuild to stock + steel 2/3/4 synchros. No fancy gears.

Hope you like it!!

I can't see the invoice either,but the timeline works such that I suspect that there's a 997 GT2 mainshaft kit in this gearbox that Brian Copans sourced from me...

I think so. It is a heavy duty Euro GT2 mainshaft, does that ring a bell?

Brian went on about the details quite a bit, but the bottom line is it is supposedly very strong now.

Well at least know that you got a very fair price, and you should be set for awhile now with the tranny. I was just in similar position and felt the pain, I justify by thinking with all the work done on my car its like a 2010 with a 2001 shell
