So i was looking around for upgrades for a swap im planning in the future, and i read about g-force transmissions and saw the can upgrade gears to the bw t5. anyone have any experience with this company or ever tried the gear swap? any info would be just great.

 

For how much ur gonna try to rebuild the t5 better off going t56

 

I had mine done several years ago ...Can it be done yes for a price ..Mine was built by Hanlon motor sports with all G-force internals including bronz shifter forks set up for SCCA road racing it can take 7200 rpm power shifts ( No Lifting the Gas here !!) from a NOS sniffing small block 358 all day long If I had to do it today considering how easy it is to to the the Swap even I would Do a T-56 money wise it is the best way to go ...

 

Agreed. There is a reason why so many go T56. Because you really cant beat the strength and price when all is said and done. T5 with gforce everthing will run you over 2k. For that price your in TKO territory which i have. Even coming from someone who has a tko..id say go the t56. My tko is a headache.

 

It's not really the gears that are weak, its the T-5 case.

 

Agreed G-Force has solved this issue by changing the helical cut on the gears less load on the case however .. A lot better setup with a T-56 you can run 4:10 or even 4:56 gears out back and drive it on the highway all day long 6 gears or or 5 you do the math

 

Yup; the G-force thing, or one or 2 similar other, is pretty much all there is, for people who HAVE TO run a T-5 (rules of a sanctioning body for example); but for anybody without such a constraint, it's AHELLUVALOT of money in exchange for AHELLUVALOT LESS THAN what you get with a T-56.
