Happy New Year. I'd like to thank every customer for making the JT5 5 speed conversion such a success. In 32 years of business I would have never dreamed a product could be produced this long ( 18 years ) and still have the demand. I'm am dedicated to constantly improving this kit. The success of our 4 Speed Muncie program will allow me to use some of that design criteria for future JT5 units.

JT5 Model CR boxes are being prepped for 4 entries in the 2009 La Carrera Panamericana Race. We have been building endurance transmissions for this race for the past 4 years. This year our transmissions will be in a 1958 Jaguar XK150, 1966 Jaguar E-Type Coupe, 1958 Maserati 3500GT and a 1954 Lincoln Capri. This is a 2000 mile race.

Lately we have seen a rash of noise issues related with JT5 installations using Fidanza alloy flywheels. We have documented gear box rattling noises as well as harmonic gear noises due to using these wheels. Therefore we strongly suggest not using them. Every JT5 is load tested for noise before it leaves our shop. The noise will not damage the unit.
