T-Series 5 Speed - Type 9 Gearbox

[Doug Pelton]

Greetings to all,

 

FTFU is a Distributor for Hi-Gear. It is important to note the following when comparing sources for the 5-speed kit:

 

FTFU item # GE098 - $3,599. Moss retail: $4,395. (Moss manufacturer for gearbox is not Hi-Gear)We have recently added a speedo angle drive, [b][i]at no added cost[/i][/b], that is geared according to the gearbox and your car. In the past, you would have to special order a custom angle drive to get your speedo to read correctly. This involved counting wheel revolutions and special ordering yourself from 3rd party supplier. So our kits are complete with angle drive and proper speedo cable. Moss does not include this, you are on your own at added expense.The most difficult part of installing the kit is that you have to extract your original clutch fork, shaft, and clutch lever. It is not uncommon for damage to occur to the brittle alloy bell housing during disassembly. FTFU is now in process of having available new clutch forks, shaft, and clutch lever. This way you can leave your existing gearbox intact if you wanted to reinstalled in future. These supplemental items are available for those to choose this route.FTFU is able to offer competitive pricing due to bulk purchase and combined shipping from outside the US. For those in the US, this means convenience of not having to deal with expensive shipping and customs charges. For those outside the US, FTFU has deeply discounted shipping rates with FedEx generally @ 75% off express rates with 5 day delivery worldwide.  

As car owners, you have choices. Please keep in mind that FTFU is working hard to support your needs with quality and competitively priced items. We can only do so with your continued support.

 

Best regards,

Rick,  

Without a doubt, buy it direct from Peter Gamble at http://hi-gearengineering.co.uk/

 

Yes, you ll pay duty but you ll save approximately $1000 under the Moss price (yes, you ll pay duty and shipping but so does Moss and they pass it on to you).

 

The best way to get in touch is via telephone...it s actually a small operation and they don t seem to respond to email very quickly.

 

Best regards,
