Transmission Poll

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

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.

Greg, Looks like TKO is your Tranny of Choice!

My vote is for the TCI 6x Six-Speed GM 4L80E Auto with paddle shifter.

Cool tranny but it weighs as much as a truck and will suck up a butt load of snort.

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

Thanks.

Ron, we did not have to modify the tunnel, slipped right in.

Very easy install. I believe the new Richmond over drive tranny uses the Richmond 6 speed case, i believe thats what Richmond told me is, so requires a shorter drive shaft. This transmission and shifter are a little pricey compared to some, but i needed something this strong after breaking 2 transmissions before.

I run 755 lbs of torque with my camaro, i have pushed this transmission hard, it truly is bullet proof and runs great on the road coarse. I believe the warranty rating is for 600lbs of torque according to Richmond, granted i do not run slicks so traction is limited but with the DSE Quadralink it does still bite hard.

I run a 308 rear Richmond gear and a 289 first gear in the tranny and .77 in 5th. At 70 mph i am around 2300 rpms's with a 315x17x35 rear tire and allows me 15 miles to the gallon when i keep my foot out it.

Transmission does whine a little but not bad, i have been very happy, with great support from Richmond.

Are you running a Hurst shifter? Do you have a console?

Can you hear the whine of your transmission over the roar of your motor?

Thanks.
