hey guys i got my info packet in the mail from g-force. it seems that for 950 u get 1st-4th gear, then if i am reading it corectly for around 300 more u can buy the strong mainshaft, then they charge 200 for labor not including any little replacement parts. i didn't find any info as to if it came with synchros or not though

 

Just called them about buying an entire tranny from them. They say that it comes with the 9310 High Nickel Steel shaft, and they'll rate it for the 600 HP.

I got thier info in the mail too. But they say no warranty- so I don't know...

 

how much for the whole trans?

What do they actually do with the trans? Do you send your T5 in for upgrades?

 

Yeah, more info please. I'd love to go manual, but if its a $2,500 swap then I'll spend about $2000 on a Pro-built 700r4, and a new stall.

 

Here's what my info sheet says for the synchronized kit.

I thought the main problem with the T5 was the actual housing?

 

Well, I'm no expert, but I would imagine that until 600 or so hp it's the gears, then after that it must be the case.

 

For $1945 you can get a new T56...course it probably isn't good for 600 hp. And does "streetable" mean not for racing?

 

I think T56's are good to about 450 hp or so. Streetable means a car with drag radials and a moderate clutch pushing 600 flywheel hp. Basically they're saying it's not a full out racing tranny (although they do have tranny's for that). It's more for street/strip use, but it can handle some decent power. You can use it for racing, but it's not reccomended for a dedicated drag car with slicks putting out some good power. For those cars they have trannys that can handle like 1000hp or something crazy like that.
