Just raced in the Buttonwillow 24 Hours of Lemons road race last weekend with a CD009 (actually a JK400) attached to my relatively stock '85 745 with B230FT. Car ran all weekend and transmission setup worked great.
My Lemons car was a test bed for a bunch of stuff Yoshifab is working on. We had the Yoshifab prototype 700 shifter, driveshaft adapter, transmission mount, and clutch. We also used the Deeworks adapter to connect the M46 bell housing.
We raced 14.5 hours, 224 laps, 560 miles, and 3,000+ shifts. We finished in 68th place out of 116 cars that actually turned laps. Out placement was mostly due to slow driving and leisurely pit stops.
I was typically in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear, never needing 6th. With the M46 I was typically in 3rd and 4th and sometimes would get to the top of 4th. I don't have the boost turned up so maybe in will see 6th some day. Closer ratio for the track and the shifting was so much nicer.
Josh at Yoshifab did all the designing and fabricating on this, but I am happy to answer any questions.
