I have a '88 F'bird with a 2.8 L V6 in it. I just blew the transmission and I am wanting to get a new transmission instead of rebuilding the stock transmission. I want a higher performance tranny so that it can handle a little more agressive driving. Plus, within the year I will be putting in a new V6 and supercharging it, so I need a tranny that can handle that. If anyone can help me with this question it would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

What kind of trans did you have? As far as I know, there's no other trannies besides stock ones for the rear-wheel-drive f-body v6. If you have the automatic, you can beef it up yourself... don't know about a manual trans, though. Which trans was it?

Nope, no high performance v6 transmissions are available. Have someone custom build one, but look at spending around 3k for it..or instead of spending that cash, change they way you drive and u wont need it.
