Tremec TKO transmission

$6365 for a T56 kit is painful, especially if it doesn't include a flywheel or pressure plate.

I'm at about $5,300 so far, and I'm not using cheap parts either. Not sure why all the hydraulic clutch kits cost $600, if a $100 hydraulic clutch slave is good enough for a Viper, it's good enough for me.

I'd still need to get my driveshaft shortened, which cost me $80 last time. And fabricate the upper and lower crossmember pieces, along with the tunnel. But that's probably $50 worth of metal. I already have a few different pistol grip shifters, I can modify one for use with the T56. I suppose I should throw in another $100 for that since that's usually about my limit for buying used ones. So, call it $5,500 with everything.

I'd love to do like you did and fab my own install. I have all the design tools, welder, torch, skills, etc to do it. With a 3 and 6 year old, time is something I don't have. I'll be lucky to get my new re-re-re-built engine in this summer.

What suck is I had a TR-3550 from my old Mustang I sold and could have used. This was back when a 3550 was $1300 new and a T56 was $2k . I'm amazed how much they have gone up in price.....
