So I've been thinking/reading as about the F23 versus F35 for a LSJ car. What are the pros/cons? Cheaper to rebuild, and different gear ratio...but what else should I know if I were interested? Do they bolt up to the goblin frame or are different mounts needed?
@OptimizePrime did a fantastic write up of not only the differences, but also the swap process here: https://dfkitcar.com/forum/index.php?threads/guide-f35-to-f23-with-lsd-transmission-swap.2502/
Hey Kimberly! Do you know the FD on these transmissions? Also, would the team be willing to install a Quaife LSD for me before shipping? I’m not quite as daring as @OptimizePrime

Please send an email to [email protected] so I can have that looked into for you. I do not want to count on my memory for that! LOLHey Kimberly! Do you know the FD on these transmissions?

As soon as the item is added to our store, it will show shipping costs once you add the needed info to calculate it. We're hoping to add it back to our store asap so keep your eyes open!
OR.....You are welcome to place an order by emailing us at [email protected] & let us know you want 1. Please make sure to include your shipping address so I can create an invoice for payment. Once I see payment, we'll get the order processed & packed asap. I'll reach out to confirm shipping costs before sending but we use UPS here & in the past our records show that folks have paid anywhere from $120 - $250 for shipping. Of course, that is subject to change.

Great deal here, I wish it wasn't too late to cancel my order from GM for $600.
That you want or need a new transmission?

I'm going this route for FD change as well as I am already experiencing a slow 1-2 shift due to synchro wear. Seems that most say this one actually works better in high HP cars. Axle shafts would be weak point in f23 car IMHO.

Because you already have your Goblin without the F40 frame mod and can't install the F40 6-speed.
What exactly is modded on the frame to make the f40 work? Would using some additional spacers between the mounts fix it for us unmodded ones?Because you already have your Goblin without the F40 frame mod and can't install the F40 6-speed.

Start here, as this is the original discussion thread, but also search the forums for F40 and see the other discussions - there are a lot of them.

The short answer is the frame needs to be modded and DF has an option to install the F40. Happy reading.
F40 Transmission - Will It Work?
Greetings, Several members have made this query in the past, whether or not the F40 transmission will work in the Goblin chassis. I can assume at least several other DFG members may be thinking the same way, having a F40 more readily available than a F35. The only actual trial fitting...

Technical, Dragon Motorsports Goblin 2.0 has been ordered but not welded yetBecause you already have your Goblin without the F40 frame mod and can't install the F40 6-speed.
And let’s not forget I still have the 2009 LS that has 10K miles on it, she has an auto that I could convert to a standard?
Seems like I might have to buy one for Goblin 3.0 someday.

You would need the pedal box, clutch master cylinder, fluid reservoir with the clutch outlet (if sticking with stock parts), flywheel, clutch and pressure plates to replace the flexplate and torque converter, shifter and cables, clutch slave cylinder and (obviously) the manual transmission. The passenger side axle shaft (long) will be replaced with a 2 piece jackshaft and axle - which is the same length as the driver's side axle. Plus all the other ancillary items like hose to connect the master cylinder to the transmission slave cylinder (its an aluminum block).
