For those interested a rew quick images. One with the Ricardo transaxle first. Also the OE Ford GT shifter

Thanks for the comments guys. I need to get some video of the car running and post it here. As soon as I take some I will post it. The transaxle has been running perfectly since this fix. Having this group to raise the issue with was great. Thanks. I have been driving it so much the extractors...

Fixed!!!! While a few people gave me some options but they all involved getting the box out and pulling it down. So before I took this route I decided to have a look myself. Thinking about the issue I thought it would be best to look at the selector assembly as the issue could be there...

Well unfortunately disconnecting the cooler did nothing and trying to manually change at the selectors did not help either. Its in the box. Crap :( I guess my only option is find someone in Australia to help disassemble the box and look for a reason for this 4th gear issue or send the whole...

Really guys I appreciate the support. Yes its a Coyote Aluminator with stage 3 Comp cams, billet oil pump and a very nice 8-stack system made out of billet. The induction sound is pretty crazy. On overlap you can hear valves slamming shut. I need to do another dyno tune because as the cams come...

Thanks for the comments NorthwoodGT. Funny about the shifter on the wrong side:wink The cables are custom made for my car. As can be seen below the routing is different but very smooth. http://www.gt40supercharged.com/gt40_images/GT40-Engine-Bay-1.jpg The cables are even smooth up to the OE...

Thanks guys for the suggestion and the kind comments on the car. I was worried I would be thrown to the wolves with it not being a Ford GT! Yes by coolant I meant fluid! I did import a lot of the OE motorcraft oil specified by Ford. I will try the disconnection of the cables and attempt to...

I have a Ricardo transaxle that's running very well but I just have one intermittent issue. I must advise that this transmission is in a GT40 not Ford GT. It uses a short throw shifter and the cables are routed without harsh bends. I hope its OK to post a Ricardo trans question here. Any help...

Can anyone advise the Ford GT flywheel part number as I need to purchase one? I also need the pilot bearing and 8 flywheel to crank bolts. Any help with part numbers or a source would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I will PM those that may have it. I was planning on getting 8 or possibly 10 quarts to allow for a future fluid change and cooler addition. Thanks

Is anyone using non OE transaxle fluid? I'm asking as the required 4 quarts (liters) of Motorcraft XT-75W90-QGT fluid is not available in Australia. I may import some but just wanted to know if there is a major manufacturer equivalent. Thanks
