RE: Transmission Questions:
Yeah I noticed the 500 does have a 3.27 where the 600 is like a 2.8 something first gear.. they offer 2 versions of the 600.. that steep .8 in 5th in one version and a .64 in the other.
So are the output splines on our T-45's 31spline or 28 spline?

Thats about the price I have been able to find them.. They have one with a .64 5th which would be the one I went with.. but all of them have 31 spline outputs. I am probably thinking axles, but arent the 99+ 28 spline?
And thanks for the link to the conversion kit. Thats not a bad price at all. I may contact the company direct and see what they say about the shifter/clutch questions I have.
Thanks a lot for the help guy's I'll take tons of pics and possibly some short vids when I do the swap with some friends and post them up like I did with the speedcal install how ever long ago that was... Would like to take care of this soon (by the end of december if possible).
ORIGINAL: 2000GT4.6
I am running the spec stage 3. since its not a dd, definatly go with the stage 3. Lots and lots of grabbing power, and if its not a DD who cares if the pedal effort is high.
My trans was like 1750 or 1800 bucks. I got it from D&D performance. They shipped it to my shop. ( shipping was extra from the 1800~ )
The only mod that had to be made was a slight change to the transmission mount, had to cut out a little peice (massaged it in other words) but still used the stocker. I got a adjuster and quadrant to go along with the new clutch (you should too) but other than that all the stuff is stock.

Unless you do a lot of high speed street races, you don't want the .8 5th gear. It's just going to give you worse gas mileage.

I think that the differen't 1st gears between the 600 and the 500 would be fairly siginficant. But like I said, do you really expect to exceed 500 ft/lbs? (espcially on a centri setup).
Unless I am not remebering right, I have seen a couple 600+ WHP cars on centri setups still only making 500-525 WHP, and its not like its gonna break as soon as you exceed 500 Ft/lbs. I am confident there is a fairly large saftey pad in there.
Edit: the stock 45 is a 3.37 compared to the TKO 500s 3.27, so you should not notice the difference (not alot anyway)

RE: Transmission Questions:
dang man your right. my 3650 does have the same .62 as the t56...but the tko has a .68 which is gonna make my car rev higher on the highway. but if i get the t56 its a more of a bigger jump in 1st gear which would make my 1st gear slower. the tko is real close to stock in 1st. I dont know which way would be the best to go now. I would get my POS rebuilt but dont wanna risk it breaking again

RE: Transmission Questions:
Thanks for the help guys.
At the very least I will get a clutch and save up to pay cash for something.. I would rather not throw it on the CC (What I would do if I got it within the next month). Lol, see exactly how long a T-45 will take a heavy clutch with 405 lbs of torque to the wheels before it cries for its momma... I know its on borrowed time. Lol.
