Aaron Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I was wondering if anyone knows of a FWD MANUAL transmission that has a high tq rating. At least 300+ lb ft. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 The SRT-4 trans was mentioned in handling over 400 without modification. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 The O2M 6-speed transmission is supposed to hold around 350+ lb ft in the VW's.. atleast that's what I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 3800 gm fwd manual trans pretty sure they don't make one. Not a manual. however, a 4t65e-HD will hold up to about 700 WHP if built properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPSS Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 what about the weight of the vehicle its going into? its ratings mean nothing if you put it into something twice as much as the vehicle the ratings were setup for. ex.. 4t65e is right about 260 from the factory in a 3500lb car..and can handle 400or more in a fiero.

AJ Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 the new turbo cobolt 5-speed has been holding quite a bit of power. a few are over 400fwhp on a stock transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a manual. thats what I'm looking for supposedly the manual trans from a 60 degree motor will bolt up, but I havn't looked into it any further yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that came in the early 90's Cutlass and the Z34's. They're pretty expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lustalbert Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 TH-425 3 speed auto, came in Oldsmobile Tornados and FWD GMC motorhomes. Most of the mods you can do to a TH-400 will work on a 425. They would suvive with a big block in a motor home, so they should handle 300+ easily.

Aaron Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 The cobalt trans is a no go. They did not change the trans from the SC to the TC cobalt. The Supercharge cobalt buys say that the trans is the limiting factor as far as power goes. The car it is going in weighs in the mid to low 3000lbs. What type of trans is the 4t65e? What kind of cars do they come in? Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is for the HD version (heavy duty diff and 2.93 gears) You could get a cheaper 4t65 (non hd) that has 3.29 gears and it can hold somewhere around 300 whp or so. But all you'd have to do to convert it to HD is swap the differential over. http://www.zzperformance.com/grand_prix/products1.php?id=150&catid=105 is some more info on where I got my tranny in my Lumina a few years back. Worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Thanks for the info, I googled it and found it was an automatic. I will edit my post to ask for manual transmissions. So far the Caliber SRT-4 and VW GTI trans are the best leads. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
