Default Transmission Poll

This poll is just for fun. I know what transmission I want to run but just curious.

Thanks.

Ron,

Thanks for the thread, I've been researching and debating trannys for my '69 Camaro for a few years.

After reading all the good info in your thread..............I'm still leaning towards the T56 after having a .50 6th T56 in a '94 "Service Package" Camaro. Stielow's cars are my primary inspiration and he appears to have good success with T56's.

I have put my trans decision aside for now since it will be awhile before I need to make that decision.

I know it definitely wont be a Richmond ...anyone seen Greg?
