The manual may be the best solution for 350+rwkw, and the auto for sub 350+rwkw.If the focus is drag racing, auto is probably the best option.As I keep saying, time will tell.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APS Phase 4 and my next Nizpro upgrade will probably jump to around 1000nm.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what its rated for but at my current levels it feels very strong with no sign of any problems.This was also done in Melbourne at a cost of $1690.00.Geea.

Ratios are: 2.97, 2.07, 1.43, 1.0, 0.8, 0.62. First is essentially the same as the T5. Second and Third are slightly lower, and fifth is closer. Fitment is relatively straightforward. The same flywheel, pressure plate style, crossmember, mount, tailshaft, etc, are retained. Driveline angle is identical to factory, and the BCD rubber coupling is retained, leaving no avenue for NVH issues to arise. Stick comes through the same hole in the floor, same boot, console boot, etc, therefore interior remains unchanged, except for the extra gate on the pattern on the knob. The mustang T56 does not have the rattle issues that seem to plague the TR3650 used in the V8. Hope this helps.Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought they would have known as for another free info-mercial in your last post ... I know I know .... your T56 seems to be working a treat and that's great for you and all the members who are contemplating doing the same as you ...and we are all truly interestedbut .... while the site is scratching around to cover costs ... I just keep hoping that some of the companies benefiting from the hard work the admin/mod team do to keep this place running, that these companies might chip in now and then (oops "chip" was the wrong word ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jteale Guests Posted 08/07/04 04:45 AM Share Posted 08/07/04 04:45 AM Hope its fact Just wondering if Peter knows, or is simply hoping they do like you I mean Brian's upgrade sounds awesome but the price is very steep ... a series II gearbox could be easily retrofitted to a Series I ... I would think and as such be a much cheaper option ... that's if you want a manual ... now Jag's six speed auto ... that's what I would like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
