T5 gearbox

[Morton]

hey all

I just want to know how much power a T5 could take before it destroys itself. because i plan to stroke my 304 to a 355 estimate about 440 horse's with similar torque. think it could handle that??


Cheers

It all depends how good you are at driving stick, and how you plan to treat it. I thrash the living hell out of my T5, but I rev-match and go a bit easier 1st-2nd when I'm giving it cheek, and it looks after me.

On the other hand, if you plan to flat-shift and clutch-kick, I daresay you won't see more than a few months' use out of it if you're lucky

Get a T56. T5s are useless.

What's required to be modified in order to run a T56 ?

Mal Wood sell a kit where nothing needs to be modded (except maybe bashing the trans tunnel out abit, its abit of a snug fit)

Cant remember the exact cost, but it was a few years ago, so you'd be best emailing them to find an exact cost.

Its about 5 ot 6k for a t56 conversion… Was gonna do this a while ago and quoted it and worked out everything you need would add up to about $2500 minus the t56 and labor…

Yeah .... No thanks
I guess il stick with the Old T5 then.
