Dudeboy Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Take a look at Tremec TKO 500 and 600. A bit pricey but another route to go. http://www.5speedtransmissions.com/ This may be the way I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolane Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I will be using a TKO600. It has been ordered, and should be on its way any day now. Keisler Engineering out of Tenn. is a great place to deal with. Ask for Gray. Joshua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZROSSA Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Supra 5 speed behind my 350sbc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Doug Nash (now Richmond gear) 5-speed. First gear is deep (3.27:1), fifth gear is 1:1, so there is no overdrive. With a numerically small rear end ratio, this might be a good choice. I’m running this transmission behind a 454 (big block Chevy). Bellhousing pattern is the same, I believe, as a Muncie 4-speed; tailshaft splines are the same as TH400. This is considered to be a good choice for drag racing. It’s reputed to be a strong as anything this side of a Lenco. But, shifting is notchy and the lack of overdrive presents problems in street driving. They’re pricey new (about $2000 with the shifter), but used examples can be relatively cheap; mine was $750. Another mixed blessing is the external shift linkage. Good, in the sense that you can move the shifter location around to custom-fit for a particular installation; bad, in the sense that transmission tunnel widening is required. In a 280Z you need to cut and reweld the tunnel (hammering is not enough). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
