T5 Strength?
The T5 isn't rated for all that much Torque. So I was woundering how to make one stronger or what othe trannsmissions will fit without extensive modification.

Tremec TKO 5 spd bolts right up with no modifications and uses the existing hydraulics, still pricey. T56 requires little modifications and is still pricey....

Theres a company that makes an upgrade for the T5. Its about $1,000 if you install it yourself. Sposed to be good for 600hp.
G-force transmissions.
I plan on doing this to put behind a Pontiac 455.
As far as I know, the TKO never came in any vehicle stock, but started as an upgrade for mustangs.

I would, and did. No regrets so far.
I read the post you're referring to on "Vendor review".....he was running the dog-ring style and it only had 7.1 miles on it....but I don't know if it happened at the track or what. He didn't say.
I'm running the sychronized unit and it shifts smoothly.
EDIT: You mentioned a "few" bad posts....where are the other two?

I saw another on another board on here. Sorry it escapes me where it was =/.
Also, its not so much it was the dog rings, but they didn't want to back their warranty is what would make me go :nono:. I mean, mistakes happen but if you supply a warranty and then say no we won't do this its your fault, screw that =/.

Maybe I should just find a wrecked 4th gen and scavenge the six speed out of it.
