If so, tell why.

 

i guess that means everyone is really happy with their 6-speeds...

 

lol Thats like asking if anyone has gotten laid and regretted it

6 gears are nothing but great IMO. Only downside is the cost and clutches are a bit of a biatch $$$$... but if you got the dough you will be pleased

 

I just put a Tremec TKO600 in my camaro, best thing i ever did. even if the motor was stone stock it is still an awesome swap. I doubt there are any people that would regret it.

 

i regret how much money i spent

i bought all peformance
spohn torque arm/cross member 530
band new everything even bolts
so slave/master brand new 125
clutch brand new centerforce dual friction 700
slp steel billet light flywheel lt1 400
cable x abbott 300
pro built t56 viper spec 2100

i love the tranny but unless you plan on never selling it dont do it

or you dont like shifting hahhaha

 

Too busy enjoying driving it to spend time posting about it...

 

Exelent thread. I am even more exited for my Tremec 6 speed I am getting from Spohn. Should be fun behind 500 HP 383. Can;t wait till spring.

 

i absolutly love it... but i cant say i enjoyed it until after i swapped gears... if you have anything lower (numericly) then 3.42s, you need to change the rear end before you can enjoy the trans.... the fun really begins at 3.73 or higher..... lol


SOMETIMES, mostly at the strip, i hate thinking about how i could drop over a half second by running a stall.... but i forget all about that when im actually rowing thru the gears.. makes even a daily drive enjoyable.

 

Nice! All good news, i am running a 12 bolt with 4.11's. Can't wait. Gotta love reading what you hope people will say. hehe

 

I loved the T56 in my old '95 Z. Everything about it was great. I had the stock 3.42's and I still loved it. I could have only imagined it with 4.10's.

 

Thats reaching man...

I've heard a few horror stories from the guys at work that are...well.... borderline terrifying!

 

I ****ing hate it, I had nothing but problems with it and the clutches that go with it. I wish they had the G-Force t-5 upgrade when I needed a trans years back, would have saved me a **** load of money and time spent. And another thing the 94+ gear ratio's are **** for a long tube TPI equiped car.

 

no kidding. I wished the gforce kit was around when I got mine too. oh well it's gone now

(btw it made my car slower 3 tenths)

 

Best money I've spent on my car to date. I went from 18mpg to 25 mpg highway. Makes the car alot more fun to drive too

Oh yeah, 2000rpm at 90mph with 3.42's

 

406TPI, is your block a 1pc rms or 2pc rms? And if its a 2pc rms, did you have to buy that $400 Centerforce flywheel?

 

It's a 2 piece RMS. I used a Mcleod billet steel flywheel made for 400 external balanced motors but it can also be used with internal balanced motors by removing the bolt on counterweight. Since I am running an internal bal. I just removed the plate and had a machine shop double check neutral balance it for me. Not sure on the price for the flywheel though...it came with the T56 in a package deal.

 

Very good info to know. Anyone know who makes a flywheel for an internaly balanced motor that is running a T-5 bellhousing and an aftermarket Tremeck 6 speed (from spohn). I know I run a stock style flywheel and clutch, but this new motor is a 2 piece RMS, not the stock 1. Thx for any help.

 

with ever raising gas prices that would pay for itself right there... nothing like idleing at 55 and 60mph
