Transmission question

SAGE · December 29th, 2008, 11:52 PM

I need to get a 6 speed transmission for my mustang. Does anyone know where is the best place to get one?

It has to be able to handle more than 1000hp at the rear wheels. I checked D&D performance, but they quoted me almost 7k for a T-56. Any chance I could get one cheaper than this?

Any help would be awesome.

^ 7K for a T-56? wow, you should be able to find one way cheaper than that. Search around. I know people are parting out cobras and sell the T-56's from them for maybe like 1k. Buy that, then build it. (if it even needs built) Those t-56's are can handle their power.

Sage..... check your PM's

I sent you a link to a GREAT deal on a VERY built T-56 with 400 miles on it

PMed you back Jazz

a 1000+hp capable t56 will be the viper spec. the cobra t56 will handle a lot, but not sure how long it will be able to hold that much power. you can buy a t56 and send it off to have built.

Sage...... did you make a deal on that trans?

Just sent him the cashiers check today. He says the transmission should be ready to ship on friday.

Excellent

It sounds like one hell of a trans and very good price as well.

Congrats!

It has been shipped, should have it by wednesday I think.

no, it will need a driveshaft for sure, i think a bellhousing as well..and depending on the input shaft , he might need a new pressure plate

SAGE · January 18th, 2009, 05:21 PM

Yah it is supposed to bolt right up with the right bellhousing, I will have to order a special driveshaft.

just out of curiosity what are you running for your transmission to have to handle 1000 HP? There is a guy at Click Click Racing that builds aod's and aode's to handle up to 1000 HP he sent me the parts to do mine but I am not running anywhere near 1000 HP.
Edit: just saw that you already got the trans. good luck hope it holds up for you I dont have any experience with that tranny so let me know how it works out and if it doesnt then check into an auto with the link I posted

SAGE · January 30th, 2009, 01:49 PM

I will be running over 1000hp at the wheels, that is why I needed a beefed up trans.

95StangMX · January 30th, 2009, 03:08 PM

1000 to the wheels I would think you are gonna blow just about any manual trans but ???? post some vids when you get a chance that should be a beast

mustang1994bob · January 31st, 2009, 01:31 AM

just info for people thinking about t56 swap, just did it with D&D's kit, the site says no cut, no drill, no weld..... they lie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol and the instructions suck, but the trany is soooo bad a$$ and worth it!!!

Your probably right, this tranny is supposed to be able to handle the power. I am going to have it looked through to see if it needs anything else done though. Either way I will not be running balls to the wall at the track, just enough to keep people admiring the tail lights.
