A Side Oiler Like We've Never Seen
Van Auken wanted a six-speed manual transmission in his Cobra, but fitting a Borg-Warner T56 six-speed in the space designed for a four-speed is a challenge. That was no problem for Van Auken, as he chiseled 2 inches out of the overall length of the clutch bellhousing/trans, converted from the modern "pull-off" clutch to a traditional "push-on" clutch, moved the shifter 3 inches forward from its stock location, and converted the electronic speedo drive to a cable drive with a special Borg Warner housing from Rockland Standard. While most would shudder at the thought of making all these changes, Van Auken is a pro, so he dove right in. We were impressed everything worked perfectly the first time the car was driven.
