Re: Manual transmission options

The one I got I looked up and it said it has a 4.02 1st, and .73 5th gear, Im also running a rear end from a s10 which is supposed to have a 3:42 coupled with a 215 70 15 rear tire, it gets moving quickly..soon as I catch up on some things I'm gonna get some new wheels and tires and put a little more meat on it, I don't have a tach so I can't tell you what rpm I'm spinning at crusin, but in 5th doing 75 or so it doesn't sound like the motors working very hard so I think its in the 2500 rpm range. I bought mine off c/l before I read they were weak and undesirable, but then read a few other posts that guys like them, even one guy that has one behind 70 Chevy w/ a warmed up 350 and tows a travel trailer and hasn't had any problems, which I heard wasnt a good idea with the t56, since they were from cars, idk all info on the net, I plan on towing my jet boat with my truck once I get ac going. For what i paid for mine I can break 4 of them before I have the cost of a tko. So long story short if you find one for a good deal its worth a try,
