I also prefer to change brake rotors and pads instead of trannies and clutches.
I also have a ZF6 in my c4 corvette track only car and it shifts very nicely but I only use it up to about 6500 rpms. They are just too big to fit in a 70 Mustang trans tunnel, need too much work to adapt and cost a fortune to rebuild.
Anyway - for high rpm use with syncros what works well? I have a POS Richmond 5-spd that needs to go in the trash and want something that works well with a 600 hp 7800 rpm dry sump motor on the road courses. No drag racing is in it's future.

funcars:
Sorry it took a while to get back to you on this. Here (I hope) are the things that will help answer your questions.
Here is the information on the Transmission:
http://www.keislerauto.com/recent-ne...k-6-speed.html
Take a look at the 6 pages here that speak about the transmission. I think it will answer a lot of your questions. This transmission can be used on the street with a clutch or without. The only time a clutch HAS to be used is for launching the car, or stopping.
Take a look at this and let me know what you think based on your background. By the way, I appreciate your comments and input.
Thanks,
