ZF 6-speed easy to install??

Ok most people go with the T-56, but the ZF is almost the same maybe better (vette)?????,
how hard would it be to get it to work with my car check sig, as they used it in the test with the later 92 special edition that didn't fly (vette 350 with zf6 in an RS for 92), and I think in the original Firehawks?

has anyone done it how is it (hard or easy install), worth it or is a T56 just better to do. Let me know thanks.

After reading an old Car Craft the other day, all I have to say is "nope"

I believe that SLP used to sell a kit to do this install. It's pricey and the benefits aren't that great. The ZF is notchier and in my opinion not as nice to drive. Not to mention the fact that you can't repair one yourself. Back to Germany with it!

no. ZF is not the same. Totaly different company, country, design, complexity..... go with the T56. Its almost a direct swap for a T-5
