Richmond 6 Speed
I was reading about this and was interested...i can get one from SDPC for around 3k with a crossmember and shifter for third gen f bodies...would this transmission be better than a t56? i am gonna just get one new...and i have not decided wether to go with a tko600, t56, and now i am liking this one...how much torque can they handle? are they good transmissions? i have not heard much about them...but they say that they use NASCAR technology...
Thanks for the info...

Re: Richmond 6 Speed
a used t56 would be the cheapest route, and a popular one at that.
the tko600 is a great trans, though good luck finding a used one.

Re: Richmond 6 Speed
if you plan to cross 450hp go with the TKO600. Im right at the edge of what the T56 can handle.
But i absolutely love it on the street. However, my freind who is also prospecting getting a standard for his olds cutlass, decided to go with a TKO because with big block power, it'll cross 600hp at the flywheel.
Theres a company in Texas that sells remanned T56s for $2000 with a 1 year warranty, even if you drop it off the lift and it was completely your fault.

This is my favorite part:
"***We also keep in stock a large inventory of remanufactured T56 units. They are priced from $1300.00 to $1650.00 exchange, depending on application.***
Meaning, you find them a blown core, and they wil give u a new tranny for $1300-$1650.
I also talked to the guy to have it shipped from texas (where they are located) To NY (Ogdensburg) at the border basically cuz i live in Canada. ANd he said it would cost $125 there abouts.
I think they also build whatever you want, so if you want a T56 to handle a certain amount of power, or watever they can prolly cater to ur needs.
