The standard transmission, whether Auto or manual, will be capable of accepting the considerable increase in torque and power that comes from the Vantage engine. As always, the proviso must be that it must be fully serviceable and in good repair. However, the proviso, with the automatic gearbox is that the size and capacity of the standard transmission oil cooler must be increased. On manual cars, a heavy duty clutch must be fitted..

The final drive differential carrier and its supporting cradle will need to be strengthened. In very hot climates, it may be advantageous to install an final drive oil cooler, for which we have an established scheme and installation kit. Finally, consideration should also be given to modifying the final drive ratio, where this may offer useful advantages.

• In summary the upgrades are:
• Auto gearbox oil cooler
• Heavy duty clutch (Manual only)
• Strengthened final drive carrier and cradle
• Higher final drive ratio (dependent on customer choice)
