Re: [DML] Re: UN1 gearbox upgrade in the USA



FYI The DeLorean uses the 369 transmission which is the predecessor to 
the UN1 and almost identical, but the gearsets are not the same. For 
example, the DeLorean and the GTA Atmo share ratios, but not gears (4th 
has 35 teeth in the DeLorean and 28 in the GTA to site an example I came 
across recently)

I am not sure if the gearset is transferrable, I have not yet tried it 
with one of the gearsets I can obtain which is made in the UK by a very 
well known name in transmissions. Over 60 sets have been sold to date 
with no failures, and one set is in use in a race car with over 600hp of 
PRV behind it.

Interestingly, the faikure most talked about in the DeLorean community 
is of the input coupler - but always with reference to a chevvy engine 
conversion using an off-the-shelf bellhousing. Over here, Esprit V8's 
tend to break 5th and the final drive
