Make The Most Of Your Power Band
The T5 has always had the potential to be an ideal “clubman” gearbox. It just needed some fine tuning.
With that in mind, and working in partnership with Gearboxman Limited, we have come up with a gearset that addresses any inherent weaknesses of this transmission.
There are actually two gearsets to choose from, each tailored to suit a different requirement.
The first, the wide ratio kit, has the ratios of the standard Sierra Cosworth gearbox: many of Gearboxman’s clients run wide power band engines, and feel that close-ratio would not be a benefit to them.
The second gearset is close-ratio,which will suit high output normally aspirated, or generally narrow power band engine applications.
Gearboxman Limited are the exclusive distributor for the QKE40Z T5 gearkits.
Their knowledge and experience with the T5 gearbox makes them the perfect partner for supplying these kits.
Contact them for all your T5 enquiries and more.
Their details are shown to the right.
