Got a good source for rebuilt T-5?

My Dad wants to put a T-5 behind the flathead in his coupe, but we are NOT transmission rebuilders. Anybody have a good source for a T-5 rebuilt in a custom way? I think we would want World Cl*** type innards, with a Chevy bolt pattern on the front, a forward-ish handle location (S10?), and manual speedo drive.

And a reasonable price wouldn't hurt either.

 

bttt

Any goldchainers out there buy any?

 

These guys rock!

For a little more, you can get a lot more...

 

Well damn!

Everybody - just forget what I said... right the F now. That Tremec makes that T5 look like an expensive doorstop!



"Features of the TKO-500 / TKO-600 / T56

Super duty all Chromoly steel construction gear set
Ultimate strength 1-piece countershaft
Improved shifter with user-adjustable spring bias centering
Dual mechanical and electronic speedometer outputs
(TKO-600) Close ratio 2.87 1st gear for less 1-2 RPM drops
(TKO-600) TALL 0.64 overdrive ("Street option") for lower cruising RPMs and longer engine life (0.82 "Road Race" option still available)"

I wish I had that kind of cash. I'll have to wait for the transmission fairy to leave one under my pillow.

Man, it seems like the price is well worth saving up for one for - it's new with a warranty!

The TKO is the way to go. It could even get stuck behind a 348/409, too...

 

The only relationship of a T-5 to a T-56 is that they both have an input and output shaft. There is no( that is NO ) comparison. S-10 T-5's are not world cl***. At least the 4 banger models are not. I don't thnk the V-6's are either. Also be careful, around 1990 The T-5 was no longer used in the S-10. Around that time GM began building thier own Manual ****** at the New Venture Gear Muncie plant.

The T-56 will handle some big horsepower. Much more than even the T-5 world cl***. A T-5 will handle some power if the car is light and has small tires. Big meats and horsepower will melt any T-5. The T-5/T-4 was originally designed for small cars and low horsepower. Not meaning to rant but just carefully ***es applicataions.

 

I bought a new S-10 T-5 on the pallet from the local Chevy dealer for $1200.
