Lenco!

In all seriousness, one of my goals is to have at least one street car someday that has a Lenco behind it.

My vote is for the new Richmond 5 speed with over-drive and Long Shifter.

Don't get me wrong i think the TKO is a great tranny too.

I went with the Richmond to handle the torque i am putting to the ground from the 540 BB camaro.

Also was a very easy install and shifts good for me.

Just my humble thoughts. gb

Default Tremec

I have had several standard transmissions & have found that the T-56 does eveything I need it to. The most recent version of the T-56 trans I'm using is the Magnum & am very pleased with the results.

Randy, what type of car did you put the magnum in? Did it fit right in or did you have to modify?

Thanks.
