I'm starting to plan for my next winter project on my '89 hatchback. Car currently has the stock T5 that I rebuilt a couple winters ago. It shifts nice and I don't have any problems with it except that it's very noisy. It's been that way since I bought it. Gears didn't look too bad, but I'm sure it has been beat on pretty good in it's life. So I'm thinking of going to a TKO600. What do I need to make the swap? I know bell housing, clutch and flywheel will need to be changed. Can I keep my aluminum drive shaft? Anything else that need changing or concerns?
Car is making considerably more power than stock. 306, cobra intake, y303 aluminum heads, B cam, Vortech V3, air to air intercooler, 70mm TB and running on a MS DIYPNP. Rear has 373 gears and 31 spline axles. Car is just a weekend street car/hobby project. It may see a track run some day. Is the 600 a good choice? Better options? Fire away, I'm open to suggestions.
