T5. Longhorn, you tell him why it's not the right choice, okay?
j/k, scott T5 can only stand about 300 ft lbs of torque. If you are towing or hauling, it's not a good choice. If it's a cruzer like mine, it's perfect.

scott is right, a T-5 is only acceptable if you drive easy. No hauling or towing on regular basis, and no hot rodding.

the NV4500 (5 spd) and NV5600 (6 spd) are both stout trannies that could take the abuse. you could also use an aftermarket Richmond 5 or 6 speed. Or, you could even get an old 5 speed out of a medium duty truck of some sort.
