[DeTomaso] Different Transaxle

[jderyke at aol.com]

Cory, the one and only reason I can see to change tranaxles is for an overdrive 6th gear for fuel mileage savings on long trips. If I could afford it, I'd use RBT's 6-speed upgrade for the ZF which I know fits everything.  The powerful 351-C doesn't need a close ratio 6, 7 or 8 speed gear cluster, and zero other transaxles fit a Pantera without major work.... then you have the shifter & halfshaft adaptions and maybe useless electronic do-dads on 'modern' units to contend with.

If there was a modern, smooth, non-ZF transaxle available for the Pantera that 
fit without major rework would anyone consider switching?  What would be the 
biggest reason, if there are reasons?  Are you satisfied largely with the ZF 
transaxle in your car(s)?
