I was thinking about something I saw here, Why not use the new 5.2 bell housing for a 5 spd? Is there much difference in over-all dimensions? Did they use a hyd clutch? Maybe a 5 speed isn't so hard to install after all..Just a thought!:read2:
 
Are you tring to bolt a t56 to a 5spd bell? If that is the case the inputshaft length and the bolt pattern is wrong. I think the t56 inputshaft is shorter. I know it is shorter than a 4spd input shaft.
 
What will they use in the new challenger? There must be a manual O/D 5 speed in production, other then a truck trans.

That will work for a TKO but not a t56.
 
i have been swapping e mails with them,,,it is not ready yet,, they say they are at the platers,,,they are sfi approved,,but not sfi certified,,,they say to get certified they would need to put a lower lip on the bell housing to make it a scatter shield,,,so for now it is as safe or as strong as a scatter shield,,but not certified to race,,,you may be able to get away with it depending on how fast your car is,, or your local track rules,,as for getting a lower lip with 8 3/8 bolts,, to make it certifiable,,they say it will depend on demand,,,they say the down falls on being certified is cost,,weight,,,ground clearance,,

if your car is that low,,,that your bell housing touches the ground,,,good luck,,, they can be bought directly thru them,,,for 365.00 for the tko 500/600

no word if they will be available thru jegs or summit for a lower price,,
i may just redrill my ansen scatter shield,,,
