I was wondering if you were to get a manual transmission what one would u think, a T-56 or some different one i dont know. It can be a 6 spd or 5 spd I was thinking of this because my car is a Daily Driver now and im not going to race it at the track anymore. I have nothing to prove, my car did repectable times and im happy with it, but I might just have fun with some friends on the road once in a while. And if this was to happen what would I need to do?
Im not sure about this choice yet, I just want your guys opinion.

Do you just want a stick instead of an auto?

Why not just build the auto?

ya i wanted a stick

just get a 3650 if your not going to race you can get one pretty cheap prolly

would I have to get a new gauge cause doesnt the manual shift 1000 more rpms and also the manual has the forged crank shaft right

Ya the manual has a forged crank which I think allows it to rev higher. Not positive on that being the reason. You wouldn't have to get new gauges but your car probably can't spin as high.

ya i need to find out how the manual mach revs 1k rpms more. The redline for the auto is at 5800 rpm, where is the manuals redline at?

+1 03MachMe's opinion. If you're not going to race or racing much less, the 3650 is the most cost effective adequate tool for the job. If you didn't mind spending more, the T56 is more durable and I'm sure that extra gear between our 4th and 5th sure is nice to have sometimes.

what is the differences between auto and manual other than the forged crank shaft?

USMCrebel

forged steel shaft, lower redline, that's pretty much it....but if you are getting rid of the auto i'll take it.
