Trying to decide on a tranny... needs to hold up to at least 800hp, and will be used in conjunction with a McLeod twin-disc, or maybe a SPEC 3.

Considering a Tremec T56.. any input? Thanks.


Oh... '96 Cobra by the way.. built motor, TT

TKO 600, but you may want to look into a beefed up one by Pro gear or someone else. definetly need the 26 spline input shaft.

With that much power you might consider an automatic. It will be alot easier to drive and won't put as much stress on other driveline parts. If you insist on a manual go with a TKO or Viper spec T56.

Skip the viper spc t56 and go with the geforce t56.

Wolverine's viper spec t-56 finally went south, and jake recommended the geforce as it will hold more power.

Get a Liberty Pro Shifted TKO and be done with it.
know of a good vendor?

I don't wanna go with the GeForce because I think that's a bit of an overbuild.. it's gonna be between TKO and Viper spec t56

you can try sean hyland and he should be able to get you a beefed up t-56. my good freind had a t-56 built up by shm and has had no problem yet and he dose do alot of track events(left and rights), but he paid a big penny for it. that when he told me.

I think you just get them straight from Liberty.


You can't really overbuild a tranny if your looking to run 800hp through it. X2C motorsports and MMR both offer beefed up Tremecs.

If you do get a Liberty Pro Shift kit - just remember its gonna make some noise as a street machine. But it'll perform well at the track. very well.
