I've e-mailed this guy and his quick response was, "Hello, The trans is new, it comes with a speedo adapter, reverse switch, bolts and converted to fit your bell. You will need to shorten your driveshaft. Thanks

Eric Swarr"

Tremec TKO is $1795
Temec 3550 is $1595

I've seen these lower priced conversions at other sites like www.darkhorseperformance.com. They all require that you shorten the driveshaft, but they will bolt right up to the T5 bell housing. How do these conversions differ from Mike Forte's conversion www.fortesparts.com?

If you don't want to shorten your driveshaft, then Mike Forte's kit seems like it's the way to go, but it's a couple hundred bucks more. What is the downside of shortening my aluminum driveshaft? Please help

 

Leaving aside the aluminim DS issue. Will one from a 200C fit - I think it's shorter than the DS from a 700R4.

 

The ones from a 200C, 200-4R, or a four-speed manual are longer: the trannies themselves are shorter.

Right - I had it backwards - I been looking at too many variations for the tranny swap on my own car and I still can't decide.

 

if it does not have the adapter. That adds about 1".
I don't think they make 3550s with longer tailhousings.
