need help deciding on a transmission for the coupe. One, because im having a custom cam cut and want to be able to provide as much info as possible, and two, because ive been back and forth 100 times trying to decide.
I love manual transmissions, and dont know that ill be happy with anything else. But with that said ive never owned a manually shifted built auto before. I know they perform great and id potentially be leaving some ET on the table going manual (but at my power level that will be more of a driver mod issue).
I already have a custom shaft to put a c4 behind my windsor and already have a C5 to build/ready for a built c4 if i come across one.
But the other side of the coin will be finding a manual that fits the bill and doesnt break the bank.
So far ive considered:
t56-great trans, when you throw a few parts at them they'll hold up to whatever, but once you get into viper spec, aston martin input shaft, etc etc they lose their affordability.
TKO- I know i could get one to handle my power, or at least i believe so. But ive always heard they shift like dump trucks, again never owned one.
t5- pretty much would be a t5 case with aftermarket guts, not probable.
what are my other options, for arguments sake consider it to be a 600/600 car, currently 4.10 gear, on 26/28" slicks
