I'm a self confessed advocate for t5's. I think t56 are sh*t, 'weakness' of the t5 aside for one minute, no gearbox ever put into a falcon shifts better than a t5, jumping into a t56 is like driving a t5 with no oil and f*cked synchros, and its no better in the fg, also, but getting more off track as to the original thread topic but, hey, this threads long gone anyway, size doesnt matter. I've put 556 rwhp thru a toyota corona 4 speed @ over 11000 rpm, and 28 psi, and it never faulted and its not half the size of a t5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I kept forgetting to do it. To much effort.I'll stick to quality rather then presentation I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot cheaper to replace that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
