I say TKO600. You can get all of those transmissions to fit your car.

with t56 i belive that u will have to shortin the drive shaft a bit but it will bolt right up

I just put the TKO 600 in my car... Twas a Bitch, D&D Performance says it was a DIRECT FIT... MY ***. After calling them 4 times, they finally said... Well you have to Modify your Crossmember.... Just a MAJOR Pain in the *** lol But no Complaints..

BTW, I would not recommend a 600 if your car is anywhere close to stock, say not making over 450 WHP. the 600 has a long 1st gear, while the 500 has a similar gear to a stock mustang trans.

that long gear is going to be harder to launch unless your making big power. In any case, from what I have seen the 500 is identical to the 600 other than the 1st gear ratio, which is why the 600 is stronger. If you break either you must be making serious horsepower and ungodly tq.
