Guest tomcat Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 what trannys are you guys running? Is there a 5-speed that can take the power? Will a 6 speed fit in the car? Tell me what options there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deMideon Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I'm running the T-56. Part of the fitting depends on which car you have. They all reuire removal of the current trans mount brackets. My 280 only need a little tunnel pounding mainly for the reverse lockout. Otherwise it fit fine! I did get the Weir belousing and hyd. throwout bearing so I could use a normal flywheel and clutch assy. also so there was no slave cyl. in the way of the exhaust!

JKDGabe Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Is there a 5-speed that can take the power? And how much power would that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I had a T56 six speed in the last car, and I've chosen to go with the GForce Custom T5 five speed with hardened input/ main/ output shafts and custom gearing... The are pricey, but VERY lightweight, which is the big complaint I had with the 140+# T56... Which climbs quickly to over 190# when you add the weight of the flywheel/ clutch assembly! The GForce we built is rated at 600Ft Pounds of torque and cost about $1840, including the Steeda Triax shifter. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grenade300 Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 In relation to the post just before mine. Here is the GForce site and they offer some good stuff. http://www.gforcetransmissions.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Call Paul Cangialosi at 561-743-5600 Paul Cangialosi http://www.5speeds.com Creators of the JT5 5 speed He hooked me up with TWO custom trannies for the SCarab project for Jim and for my own project, and the cost was about $1840 each. You pick the setup, the gears, the syncro types, the input, main, and output shafts, and he builds it for your application. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
