Ok, I found a tko that was used in a gm. It says 26 spline 1-1/8th input shaft. Is that the same as what I need?

your current input spline/clutch discshould be a 10 spline so you would have to upgrade your clutch disc to 26 spline
Do I have to change anything besides getting a diffrent clutch, as far as the shaft is concerned?
Only thing you have to change is the clutch disc. When ordering it make sure its a 26 spline disc

I got the astroperformance A-5 gear kit and put it in my t-5 and it drives just like my stock t-5, only thing different is it doesnt break

What kind of power are you putting through that? Any problems with the tranny housing? How long have you had it?
on the dyno it made 550rwhp and 630rwtq with a 150 shot, Ive hit it with a 300 shot a couple times and only 5th gear doesnt like the power(5th is still stock)
the tranny housing is still fine, and I used the upgraded cluster support plate, and the upgraded 2310 output shaft, they rate it at 650hp and 500 ft/lbs.
I built it last year in the summer, and put mabye 1000 street kms on it and mabye 100 track passes so far. would be more but I had an overrev mishap that poked holes in a couple pistons.

Well I think it's getting to the point where i need to upgrade my tranny and I'm considering an A-5 or Gforce so it will work with all my stock stuff. I plan on adding a KB and maybe a larger displacement engine in the far future and just wondering if it's a smart move or not.

tko ftw, why would you bother replacing a messload of items just to put a weaker tranny (t56) versus a stronger (tko 500/600) in it? think smarter not harder

I recently bought a G Force tranny. I have not driven it yet. Waiting on tires to get in.
