Contact Jeff at JAE in California. The price varies based on availability, but he will get you the real deal.

You can buy it directly from Quaife - it is in their catalogue, but I do not know the page number. Be aware that they only produce straight-cut ratios for this box, despite having helical variants quoted.

Mike Haines Racing tried (evaluated) this Quaife 6-speed gearbox as an alternative to the Hewland TGT, which was becoming very difficult to source. His experience was that they simply couldn´t get the gearbox to shift consistantly.... in a road application, where high revs are far less predicatable, I would say that you would be asking for an incredible amount of trouble.

Michael Rodriguez had a unit for sale some years ago, which had some special ratios; I do not know if it is still available.

Edit: Oooppss.... just realised that you are talking about the ATB Diff. and not the gearbox. It´s all this talk about gearbox upgrades.... sorry.

Cheers,
Mike S
