I have a Gear Vendors Overdrive Unit I would like to sell. It is a P Type which is rated up to 1200hp. I bought the unit used and planned to use it in my Firebird but now have gone a different route. I was told the unit worked great in the car it came from but I have not run the unit so I can't be sure there are not issues with the unit so I am going to price it accordingly so that if there are any issues a person can get it rebuilt and still be in it for a good price. The unit is currently set up for a C6 transmission but the adapter can be changed to work with dozens of different set ups. If you have a C6 and want to use the unit you will only need a coupler which is about $100. If you want to use it with a turbo 400 you will need a turbo 400 adapter and coupler which $335 new from Maximum Overdrives and they will pay $125 for the C6 adapter which would make it $210. Maximum Overdrives will rebuild the unit for $550 which includes a 6 month unlimited mileage warranty. So if you used the unit with a C6 and had the unit rebuilt you would be into for a total of $1500($850+$100 coupler+$550 rebuild) which is $1100 cheaper than new. If you used it with a Turbo 400 you would be into for $1610($850+210 coupler/adapter+$550 rebuild) which is about $1000 less than new. I had planned to just use a switch to engage the overdrive but Maximum Overdrives has a new electronics set up for $175 if you wanted to go that route. If you got the unit and tried it and everything works fine--you got a bargain! I know I don't have alot of feedback here but there are some members here that will vouch for me or you can check me out at m normal home over on turbobuick.com! I am located in the Springfield Mo area if you would like to come by and take a look at it. $850 plus shipping Thanks

The adapter is a C6 adapter but if there is more than one type of C6 adapter I am not sure, but it is pretty long. I will have some pics a little later and I can measure the length if that will help you. Thanks

Yes, that's the one. Here is a pic of the GV I have. Sorry for the poor qaulity but my daughter dropped out camera so a phone pic is all I have. For those that are not familiar with GV's the long tapered part is the adapter and the rest is the actual overdrive itself.

I have a mustang here at the shop we're building, and we are putting a 460 in the car with a C6 trans. I think this would be perfect from what it sounds like.
Is it still available?
