GTO 6 speed box - experiences in use?

[Nellie]

Hi everyone,

 

Has been a while since I have posed on here

 

As per title really, have done a search of the forum but cannot find anything relating to usage

 

Has anyone fitted a 6 speed box to their V8, if so how have they found it in use

 

Looking at the layout and the fact its straight cut does anyone know if it possible to automate its sequential operation via a powered solenoid?

 

I ask this because on my race bike this type of gearing can be shifted flat open throttle via a momentary cut in the ignition and there are kits for bikes to add a powered solenoid for push button flat gear shift

 

Would be an interesting conversion to carry out on the V8

 

Any feedback on the box would be interesting

Will be dropping GTO an email to see what they say also

 

Nellie

the German owner turbomaster in here, the one with the black V8 in JPS decals that was in a discussion/documentation over here last year   -he runs a 6speed box, fitted to the car by Ramspott&Brand, but I'm sure it is simply a GTO set from UK.
