Anyone

 

If you want a UK company Real Steel Uxbridge used to keep the but check on gear ratio if they still sell them if not I am sure Reyland should sell them,
If not Google will know.

CHEERS Jay
Im going on a trip tommorow

 

who does the bell housing adapters

 

hi jay
you just adapt t5 bell housing quite easy to do

mark

 

Sorry to jump in, but I am also considering going to a tko box and I notice that the input shaft tip is of greater diameter than the T5 box, what solutions have guys come up with for this? Or are we stuck modifying the crank or input shaft of the box?

Cheers,
Damion

 

You can buy a different spigot bearing that does the job.

 

Non in stock at the moment :-(

 

So what about the jag box conversion that Euan did a few years back ?

 

Shocked at how cheap that is Bloody gaywheeldrives....get raped bigtime for decent parts and you rwd boys have it made!

 

Bad isnt it Rog were proper raped we are

 

What are you going to do about a clutch and propshaft?

 

You will need to fit a Pro5 shifter to the TKO to make it a similar change to the T5. It really is a bomb proof box been in mine for 13 years now.

 

Rod,

What Diff do you run on yours??

Sorry to slightly go off topic Daz

 

Rod uses the Jag diff IIRC Pete.

Steve

 

Ok, thanks Steve.......

 

13 years lol I can remember you busting your t5 racing Matty whitland in his yb mk1 escort! Time go's fast!

 

Got a nice tremec t56 sat here doing nothing

 

I have 7,1/4 tripple clutch allready
and my mate owns Dave mack propshafts
His names Dave LOL
Hes just done some carbon props for another friend Nigel who owns the monster
truck big foot, or one of them i should say,
So i may be having a carbon prop,,

 

Cheers Rod ,
Its on the list.

 

Is this for the Dolly Daz?

 

Yes mate the new one not the cobbled together red one.

 

nice 6th gear for cruising
.50 and some .62
Could be an option .
Is it new ??

 

When I had a .63 5th in my Tremec you couldnt use 5th under about 100mph so it was useless.

Mark

 

LOL
May be ok for me as im running 13" wheels most of the time

 

Didnt think of that, It would be worth working out the rpm per 1000rpm and see what it is,
For me the tremec on stock final drive and .82 or .83 what ever it is was just about right for a Cossie.
Also look at the speedo drive as one is electric and the other is cable from mem.

fuck that's cheap!!!

23 mph per 1k
About 180 ish
I've got a didgital speedo that runs of the front wheel
So that will save ME, at least the bother of cables.
Good call though for other people wishing to convert to the tko,

 

Just seen this??

If you're considering the T56, the drop from 4-5 and 5-6 is huge unless you get one with the 0.83/0.63 5th and 6th. ( there are a few variations, but they're mostly around there. )
The tall 0.74 and 0.5 5th and 6th are huge and make almost any gearing setup awkward.
It works ok on a big V8 with lots of torque though.
Short diff and short overall gearing may help this, but I'm sure it still wont be ideal


Most boxes can run either cable or electric speedo sender, although the T56 is normally electric, so to convert for cable will cost.
I'd guess the TKO could be ordered with either.

The newer TR6060 is regarded as a much better box than the T56, although again comes in a variety of ratios and fitments.

 

I presume your running high hp for the reason for a tko ?

As with any big purchase, no way would I be buying a transmission from the US from a catalogue.

You must speak to a human being and discuss what you need.

RPM Transmissions is a popular choice, or Tick Performance ( at least around GM stuff )

 

What you running in yours Stevie 6060 ?

 

Just an old T56.

It is a rebuilt unit and is supposed to have better shift forks, baulk rings and does have a Viper 31 spline mainshaft and supposed to have cryo'd gears.

That said, the original T56 totally standard T56 I had before never gave me any trouble at all, and still have it as a spare.

I wouldnt say I'm overly abusive when it comes to gearboxes though.

From reports on the 6060, one would be nice, but that's a US$5k nice, so wont be happening any time soon lol

 

Yeah they do take some abuse the one I have is from a viper with the larger output shaft ,just need something to bolt it to Chevy twin tub would be nice ,but just can't make my mind up
