tranny rebuild cost?

while the new motor is being built, i thought i'd get the tranny rebuilt, just because it has 110K on it and i might as well get it checked out while the old motor is out of the car.

the local guy estimated it would probably be between $1500 and $2000.

does that sound like a reasonable price?

i think thats pretty high

you can buy fully rebuilt ones from astro for less. even a new t5 from summit is only 1800.

hmmm ... the only problem is that they are rated at 300 ft-lbs torque. i think the 450+ hp 408 i am having built will make a little more torque than that ... it had better make more!

the frpp ones on summit can handle up to 600tq according to the description

I have my Cobra spec t-5 out of my 94 Cobra that I replaced w/ a G-force recently. The Cobra unit was rebuilt about 5000 miles ago and has absolutely no issues. Im willing to get rid of it for a pretty descent price. Hit me up if your interested. rnshuble@yahoo.com

Why not get the G-force? No need to go and change everything out like with the Tremec.

I plan on going the G-force/astroperformance super alloy gearset. Its just over a 1k$ but has everything you would need including the 200$ rebuild kit. I have help in the area of assem. though so I will be doing it myself so a t5 that can handle a rated 450-500 or so ftlbs for 1k not bad. The thing to remember about the tko is wieght and the heat they make. After talking to several owners of the complaint about the heat the tko and how that heat effects the lifespan plus the added wieght, for 1k I will try the t5 super alloy set first.

For me it came down to if I am looking to work with what I have I am going to sink some money into the t5 I already have. If I am going to be moving/modding trans cross members and getting specificly diff. bells (SFI), and a new output shaft yoke I would just go t56.

TKO's are a damn nice trans just for me if I am going to spend that much gimme a t56.
