Quaife QBE 69G Six speed sequential transmission for Comaro Has anyone fitted one of these amazing manual transmissions to a Comaro?
N.B. Not to be confused with an auto that has manual sports mode.
The 69G is a full manual designed for road racing but no clutch is needed after the initial start.
In particular I am looking for a bell housing and adaptor plate to go between the Quaife and the LS engine
THANK YOU!

Thank you for reply. I should have explained this is for a road race car
Here it is with existing dog H pattern gearbox
And to put that in perspective
Fairly serious race car
Not worried about whine. Just want sequential shift transmission and Camaro bell housing and adaptor will work.

Thanks for that lead. I have written to Speedsouth to see if they use the Quaife and to ask about the parts.

Thanks for that I will try LG.
Car already has a very good PPG Tremec dog box but I want a sequential.
EMCO and Holinger too expensive. Quaife QBE69G is the option we are using.

I looked into this trans as well. You might want to try gearboxman.co.uk and see which bellhousing options they have available. There is another V8 series in Australia (not supercar) which uses LS engines. Not sure if they are running the 69G or Hollinger though.

I think you mean the NZ V8 Supertourers. They use the 2013 COTF V8 Supercar chassis, LS7 and the QBE68G. I have thought about using their setup but they have the starter motor mounted backwards and I am unsure there will be space in the confines of my FD RX7 LS engined car.
I am trying to do a Comaro / VE Commodore /Pontiac G8 setup first and if that is too hard I might try the NZ setup with triple plate Tilton etc.
I do,like my single plate for fast starts. My car gets off the line really well with the single - faster than many big budget GTR and other AWD cars and a triple might hurt starts.

A backward starter certainly would not work in my chassis (probably about the same in your RX7). I might be mixing up my transmissions but doesn't the 68 have significantly lower torque handling ability (like half)?
If you are able to locate a 69G to LS belhousing I'd love to hear about it.

If I locate a bell housing or bellhousing and adaptor I will report it here.

The clutch is a full custom single plate by Autowerks Automotive.
They are on Facebook and the owner Sonny Duran is also on Facebook. He has the clutch behind an 1100RWHP LS3 Commodore Ute and heaps of other customer cars.
Works great.

http://www.gearboxman.co.uk/ is thinking about making a bellhousing or an adaptor to suit the Comaro/Commodore/GTO bellhousing
If interested contact them at info@gearboxman.com ASAP as numbers will help them decide.
If they do not make one I will have one made and make them available Worldwide.
Stay tuned.
