Has anyone us a tko behind the ls and if so what adapter or parts did you use

 

there is a bell housing for this. McCleod sells it. I havent used it so I dont know what little things are needed. or if it means a longer DS. It would be one of the better trans to use though

 

Thanks for the info

 

Why unless you already have it? The t56 is a better choice IMO. Strong as he'll and a proven performer for less money

 

honestly for the money people want for t56's now days its not. you can get a new tko500 for almost the same or even a tko600 for a few hundred more. which is even stronger yet. the 500 is rated the same as the t56 but based on its internals I think its a little under rated.

I would go with any of the three.

 

Just browsing ls1 tech got me a t56/bellhousing/clutch/pressure plate/flywheel/slave out of a 43k car for 850$ shipped.

 

Where? I'll buy it right now!

 

that might be so but the average price is much much higher.

I can go all day with how cheap you CAN find some but that's not the average price by far!

the point here is the TKO is not a bad trans and in many cases can be found at similar prices. so to tell some one they shouldn't is a little narrow minded.

 

I already bought it.

Not so narrow minded. You can have a good factory gm tranny complete setup for 900$ if you shop and you get a extra gear which is nice when gas is 3.50$

 

give it up guy! you came into a thread to bash what he wanted to do. admit it your a troll. do a search if your so prod and see I got my last t56 for under 300.00 with everything. and the last tko I had in my hands was 500.00 I wasnt going to talk prices like you seem so happy to do. just move on and let threads that are here to inform to just that

 

If you re-read the thread he didn't talk cost until after you talked about t56's being over priced.

 

I'm not bashing just suggesting a 6 speed. I will call you a liar on your 300$ complete setup t56. Must have been a bare case or a core.

 

Another stand point to look at is, how many new cars are using 5 speed trannys?
