I saw a fox body that was a 6 speed and i was wondering what all was involved with making that happen. new engine? transmission? if anyone knows anything id really appreciate it.

 

transmission,cross member, shifter, clutch, flywheel (recommended), drive shaft etc

 

any idea how much the project would cost?

 

swapping to my tko before i got my c4 was about 3000 so id have to say right around there if not more

 

^^ Yup around $3-4000 grand if I were to guess. But I see this question from time to time and I have to ask...why? The final drive ratio on a T56 is really close to that of a T5. And unless you go Viper spec or have that T56 built up, it really is not that strong. Just because it has one more gear does not make it better. For my money I would go with a TKO.

 

if you go T56, you have to go .5 6th

 

Right, and I think the 5.0 is .68 in 5th. IMO not a big enough reason to spend all that money. Plus 1st in the T56 is a much taller gear that makes launching harder. I know that one first hand as I owned a T56 car and it was a bitch to get a decent 60 foot out of.

 

I wanted a 6 speed for while... now I'd rather just get 3.55s or lower and run a stronger engine.

The more gears, usually the weaker the tranny is...

 

I'm still more concerned with my 1/4 mile times but a lot of tuners kids say they'll take my 5.0 in the long run because of there turbos are top end speed. I want to be able to beat them in 1/4 and top. im I asking too much from a car?

 

just do basic mods like HCI, gears, exhaust, etc. and maybe a poweradder and those hondas wont know what hit them.
