I was reading about this and was interested...i can get one from SDPC for around 3k with a crossmember and shifter for third gen f bodies...would this transmission be better than a t56? i am gonna just get one new...and i have not decided wether to go with a tko600, t56, and now i am liking this one...how much torque can they handle? are they good transmissions? i have not heard much about them...but they say that they use NASCAR technology...
Thanks for the info...

 

VERY noisy. great for racing, drive you nuts in a street car.

 

really?...which would you choose for a daily driver?

 

a used t56 would be the cheapest route, and a popular one at that.

the tko600 is a great trans, though good luck finding a used one.

 

cool...i was thinking about buying one new anyway...but thanks for the info!

 

if you plan to cross 450hp go with the TKO600. Im right at the edge of what the T56 can handle.

But i absolutely love it on the street. However, my freind who is also prospecting getting a standard for his olds cutlass, decided to go with a TKO because with big block power, it'll cross 600hp at the flywheel.

Theres a company in Texas that sells remanned T56s for $2000 with a 1 year warranty, even if you drop it off the lift and it was completely your fault.

 

relly? what is the name of the company? do they have a website?

This is my favorite part:

"***We also keep in stock a large inventory of remanufactured T56 units. They are priced from $1300.00 to $1650.00 exchange, depending on application.***


Meaning, you find them a blown core, and they wil give u a new tranny for $1300-$1650.

I also talked to the guy to have it shipped from texas (where they are located) To NY (Ogdensburg) at the border basically cuz i live in Canada. ANd he said it would cost $125 there abouts.

I think they also build whatever you want, so if you want a T56 to handle a certain amount of power, or watever they can prolly cater to ur needs.
