which 6spd manual is tuffest?

[metalskin]

howdy, was wondering which 6spd box is the tuffest. is the getrag that came in the vs gtsr a good`n and would it cope behind a blown/stroked 5ltr in my vs? is the tremec pretty much the same or is it superior?

Ok mate dont know why you have another thread on this but ill answer. First off the GTS, GTS-R and Senator use a Tremec T56 not a Getrag. Gentrag's where used in the VS SII onwards V6 and the VS SII V8 (5.0lt) these are a fairly week box that is expensive to repair.
What to use depends on how much power the combo will make and how much $$$ you want to spend. There is the TKO 500 (500lbs of torque)& TKO 600 (600lbs). Then there is the tried and true T56 (450lbs) which has the benifit of an additional gear. There is also modified versions of the above, for example there is a company in the US that makes a modified T56 that can handle 800lbs of torque!

To give you an idea of the cost of a Hollinger, they cost around $4500 to service!!

yeah, i have a few other threads going. and as youz can already tell im a bit of a slow learner and gotta ask same question over n over. lol. and im still not too clear.
i have searched the web and got conflicting info, which scatters my noggin.
ive bought an ebay box that seller says its a borg warner T56 6spd (item- 190002518772 ). i do hope it will be suficiant, i guess my car be puting out around 350kw`ish, dunno bout torque. will she go crunch-bang-rattle?

What about the MM6 version of the Tremec T56?

Easily capable of 500 pound of torque as well as over 500 horsepower. 350kw should be no problem.

*Edit* you already bought that trans? I dont think it would handle 350kw.

clear as mud now.
borg warner t56 6spd is or isnt gonna be suitable? just hafta see how it goes i spose. ive just had a stainless exhaust system fitted too, will it need to be altered when manual is fitted? she sounds fat crackin nice too!!!

There is no such thing as a Borg Warner T56 mate. Do you have a link to it? If its a tremec T56, just put a good clutch (like a textrilla) and it will take the power easy.....

It was brought up 'as clear as mud' in both your other threads that there is no borg warner T56...
