This stock 4 speed auto tranny with o/d is pissing me off. I dont really like going down the road at 60 mph and being in 4th gear at 3k rpms... What's a good 6 speed to get ? Anyone changed their tranny to something like this, rather than going to a standard ?

Just heard about something made by Borg from a buddy... called a T-56 I think... it costs nearly 1200 for the conversion kit, then another grand for the tranny... ouch. Why dont more vehicles come with 6 speeds ? Know how much money you would save on gas on long trips with a 6th gear ?

what size gears and/or tires do you have to be doing 3000rpm @ 60mph? i have 3.55 with 255/60/15 tires (27"diamiter) and hit 65 @ 2200 rpms.

the t-56 is the tranny that is in the 6 speed camaro. there is a bell housing to hook it up to a 360. there for it will hook up to a 5.2 or 3.9 as well.

Would appreciate it... that would be awesome. Friend told me there was a conversion kit completely made out of aluminum (I think) that could mount against any engine. As for me, I'm running stock everything, and the tires I have are 275/55/17's... This is without the Overdrive on by the way... with overdrive, it's like 2300 or so... but at any rate, at 80 and 90... it's horrible.

you're the man intense... I think a commission of the membership funds should start going to you by how many questions you answer, cause you always seem to be givin good info
