That's what I don't get, lol. If you got a COBRA, NEVER take the cheap route!

Well I hope to GOD that the 5 speed in there is at least a TKO 500, because if it's a TR3650 or a T45, it's GOING to fail...

thats how we think, whoever had this cobra didnt care about it and ran it into the ground and then replaced it with cheaper parts and sold it or the small car lot couldnt spend the money to replace the t-56. i would have ask for my money back as soon as i notice it wasnt a 6spd b4 leaving the lot

Dude, I would get a hold of that dealer and find out what's with that car. If they really did put the wrong tranny in then you need to find out what else they replaced that does not belong on it. You paid for a Cobra, you should get a Cobra. If I remember right they were not discounting it any and the price was not cheap.
