My world class T5 is starting to act up. I have 3 options that i can thank of since i want to stay manual. One is rebuild the T5 and put stronger guts in it. Two buy a good tremec. Three do a T56 swap. Right now i have whats in my sig performance wise but with in the next few months i will have a 177 blower and a set of AFR's. I am looking for which one u thank will hold up and the best bang for my in the long run. Any opinons?

 

The t56 is nice, but the Tremec will do the job and it is probably less expensive. If you want a 6speed then the t56 is the way to go. If you want to get real frisky in the HP department check on a Doug Nash (now Richmond) 5 speed. You may find it comparable in price once you buy all of the pieces.

The Tremec TKO is one strong piece of equipment. If you want to keep it a stick, this is the way to go. It will bolt right in a third gen with no problem. Im not sure if a T-56 is an easy bolt in though.

 

I agree with brutal form. The tremec is a tough trans and they shift like butter!

IMO the T56 swap looks like a PITA
