Miller Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm looking for some opinions on a transmission for my Fox Body. Looking for a cost-effective, durable options. I've looked at TKO 500/600, G-Force T5's, stock replacements etc. Not having much luck on the used market, most guys don't want to ship a transmission. I personally like the idea of the G-Force T5 because I hear the shifts are far better than a TKO. The transmission complete runs for close to 2.5-3k. The internals to convert my current T5 cost around $1250. Does anyone recommend a local shop, what's the cost of something like that? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 What power are you making? t56 conversion. Chopping a ds is only like 60 bucks, and cross member is only like 100. Shiping my used trans was only like 200 to a commercial addy (dock). Which i can help out you with if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks man. Not sure on my power levels yet Ramsey. I'm not making anything crazy to warrant something overkill. I do like to launch and don't want to worry about another trans in this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 A Magnum T56 is the way to go, indestructible unless you're making Dyno Brian power, and a great shifting trans. I'm sure there have been plenty swapped into foxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeesammy Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 T56. Brian's is a little loud cruising but it may be due to the way the gears have been treated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I like what I'm reading but its over twice the weight of a t5 and around the same price as the other transmissions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
