The car is already has a manual, right? If not, it's going to be one big PITA project.

EDIT: Oh yeah, you better have some power to push those gear ratios. If it's an N/A car, get ready to put some big gears in the rear end. If you're doing the swap because you need a durable transmission, screw it and get a TKO.

I wish I could find a wrecked Cobra for a tranny swap. That 6th gear would be nice on the highway.

well the car has a 3.73 gear and 600 ft pnds of torque
I ran 11.99 at 120mph with a 1.8 60ft on the stock tranny at only 12psi
and I don't know how well the stock tranny is going to hold on

I already have the T56

is the spline on my 97 gt drive shaft the same the same?

Like I said, you will get your question answered a whole lot faster over on www.corral.net than you will here. They just don't have a lot of technical knowledge on this board.

the driveshaft is different, you will need the cobra driveshaft or you will need to buy an aftermarket one.
