I need a strong replacement for T5
I need a strong replacement for T5
I am about to buy a 350 bored .60 over and stroke it, so my T5 will have to go. Does anyone have any recommendations on good, strong replacement 5 speed tranny's?
I suggest looking at getting a Tremec. They are just about the strongest manual transmissions you can find. Shouldn't have any trouble running it with your engine. You can check them out at http://www.fortesparts.com/tremec/index.html

I like the Tremec TKO. I bought one with a pro 5.0 shifter from Forte's and I am still in love.

I plan on gettin the Tremec TKO, early next year.(probably March).This thing's rated for way more torque than it'll ever see in my car.
I like that.

Tremec, Richmond, and T56 are your choices. None of them is cheap.

I have a T56 and have had no problms with it. If you are going to spend money you should get a 6 speed. These aren't cheap but you can pick up a used one alot cheaper. They are extremely under rated if you have alot of power so it should hold.
