TKO600 VS. T56 Viper Spec

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

Tremec makes both the TKO and T56.

exactly! I love them both, I meant to say you cant go wrong with either...

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

With all the bad I've heard about TKO500's and 600's I'd get a T56.

MY Cobra's stock T45 has been great for the past 5 years with a supercharger....I actually just had my transmission shop take it all apart for inspection. I needed a clutch and I have long tubes, so I figured better pay some extra cash for an inspection while it's out. They said they couldn't find anything wrong with it, so they put it back together with all the original parts. I don't power shift, or do 5,000PRM clutch dumps either though.

yours is a freak, my friends stock car killed his t45, ive killed 4 t5's now and just went to a 3550. But I yank the piss out of my car...

what about a 3550 would that handle 600+ ?

 

[strtrcr50]

what does a tranny have to do with pirates

Johnny Depp was pretty flamboyant in Pirates of the carribean?

Oh hell, take a look at this. tko 600 shifting problems - Google Search
If you were to get a tko600, make sure you get it updated from ProMotion.l

I've seen a 3550 in a turbod mustang making 630 rwhp. I wouldn't advise it, though. The 10 spline input shaft is the weak point there. TKOs come with a 26 spline input.

well remember this transmission will be handling 500-600 before the turbos i add, but that wont be for another year, but it will happen

Everything, if you treat it harshly enough for long enough is going to break. It happens. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the available options. If your power level is going to top 600 someday I'd invest the money once in the G-Force T-56, but that's still no guarantee that it won't break at some point. If you you aren't breaking stuff, you aren't driving hard enough.

 

[Shaolin Crane]

well i just want to know how these tranny's will last getting slammed up and down over and over will they still stand up?

 

[FastDriver]

yes

 

[Shaolin Crane]

well as far as i can see either tranny is fine and from the gear tatios i really dont see any reason to go with the t56 so i might as well save the extra money and go with the tko600

 

[moostangvert]

ijust got a tko, i hope this thing holds up! it prolly will, im not making power anyhow

Useful thread for me right now, back from the dead.

At least the communist president will be leaving office soon!

He is a terrible president, but in no way a communist. I am not sure what far right racist politics has to do with transmission selection.

I've had a friend running a viper spec and a 300 shot on an LSx. 700ish hp, Full slicks and beating the hell out of it and it's never been a problem. I've been pretty impressed

 

[Shaolin Crane]

Wow i made this thread a while ago. When i was still drifting the car . Funny, I eventually ended up with a g-force for the 87 and a 3550 for the 88.
