Looking to swap out my automatic trans this winter with a stock 5 speed from karkraft, which is better? the T 45 or the Tremec 3650?

the Viper spec T-56

I would go with a built TKO though but out of those 2 I would say the T-3650

I was thinking about the Viper spec T-56 when I go with an engine swap or poweradder but right now im im completely stock and just looking to put the fun factor back in my stang with a stock 5-speed and im lookin to spend less than 800 for the trans which can be had for 500 at karkraft thanks for the reply!

I've priced this out many times and even if you do the work yourself it can get kind of pricey, unless you had a bunch of mods your best bet is to sell your car and buy the same one with a manual.

I expect it to get pricy but trading up for a manual car is not an option since swapping out the trans is something I'd have to do anyway once I reached a certain power level... It might be a little less work going from a 5speed to a built 5 or 6 speed vs auto to manual but work and $$$ is all apart of building a car up.

In the end I have alot of long term goals set for the car as far as mods go, many of them which i'll do myself and a few which I'll have to take to a shop,
The swap will only cost me about $1363 which includes everything needed to convert to a manual and i'll be doing the work in my garage over the winter at my own pace.

stock to stock the 3650 is stronger. the t45 is cheaper, and a built one is cheaper as well. i had mine built, i didnt want to deal with a conversion. i am happy with it, i am glad i did it instead of a swap. i dont really care for the t56, i personally wouldnt ever go to one unless i absolutly needed a viper spec.
