Tremec TKO transmission
I thought with the passion 5 speed you can use the stock bell housing,clutch and the shifter was in the stock location:burnout:
Yup, the Passon 5 speed bolts in place of the stock transmission, everything is in the stock location.
But Passon is more than a year behind on orders for the 5 speed, so, good luck getting one.
The TKO will cost way more than $3,500 to install. If you just go to Hurst and pick the 5 speed and use the "elite" parts kit you're at $4,636. That kit has almost everything you need, but you still need to do the tunnel and crossmember mods and it doesn't include a hydraulic clutch set up. It also includes an aluminum bellhousing, so if you need an SFI rated bell or parts for 500+ hp you need to spend more money. You could do it cheaper if you sourced some of the parts yourself and went with the lowest prices you could find, but by the time you're all said and done you'll be in over $4k no matter what.
That's why I went with the T56 for my car. I think I have everything to do the swap at this point, with the exception of making the upper and lower crossmember. I'm in a little over $5k right now, figured the extra money and additional cutting was worth the extra gear. And if I continue to drag my feet on starting the swap US Cartool may come out with their A-body T56 crossmember.
