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?

So what is so bad about the t-56? I just think the idea of a six speed is sexy [8D]

tko is a top loader desgin its eat the t-56 t death and its craps out t-5 for breakfest i am so happy with mine i dont think id ever go with another trans again unless it was a g-force trans but those are super expensive. TKO's will take what ever you have to throw at it.

your current input spline/clutch discshould be a 10 spline so you would have to upgrade your clutch disc to 26 spline

tko ftw. it's the best tranny i've ever used. it shifts smooth unlike the old ones, which is how they got a bad name, the new ones are awesome, i couldnt really tell a difference between the shifting on my tko and my t-5 except the tko felt way more positive

tkos are cheaper than t-56's have a similar od ratio and are stronger than a cobra spec t-56

check out ddperformance.com for any parts you may need they hooked me up with mine. tko600 .68 od, Zoom stage 2 kevlar clutch, fidanza flywheel aluminum, pr0 5.0 shifter with short arm, adjustable trans mount with poly bushings, and 3 quarts of gm synchro mesh, ran me about $3000 and i installed it in 1 night

Do I have to change anything besides getting a diffrent clutch, as far as the shaft is concerned?

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?
