so im goin all out...dropped a good $10k on ol' Red 6 months ago...n now my tranny goes...so a t-56 is wat im goin 4...gotta do it big...i was gonna go viper t-56 but i hear the steeper gears could leave my rear end @ the line if im not careful...so im goin with the DD perform. custom t-56 kit with the plain ol gearing n call it a day. the problem is, im bein told my exhaust(being that i have a good ol pro-chamber) that the new crosmember might have some problems with my exhaust n some extensive work might need to be done...can anybody back this up for me, is there anything that might b effected or should i b good.

P.S.- i was just curious as to anybody thats a up n comin mustang driftr...ive been into drifting since before it got big in the states...about 4 years now im thinkin...n have had my mustang for two, n as soon as i got it i told everybody it was goin to be a drift/grip mustang...no straight line for me, i love the curvies...but is there anybody else out there who has a story, maybe get sumthin started?

its really up to you to do what you want but the amount of work and money there is to go through all that doesnt seem worth it. If you really want a 6 speed it can be done but will cost more than the best Tremec 5 speed.


not to break your heart or anything but 5.0s suck at drifting :(


BTW i still think drifting is neat but not my cup of tea.
 
you could go with the big trans, just get a moser locker with 33 spline c clip eliminator axles. it will hold the torque, but depending on hp you better get a driveshaft loop.
