Re: Issues w/ T-56 Magnum behind LS3?
Thanks for the input TR65, any opinions at this point are appreciated. I can usually research enough to come to a decision on what I want but I am very much on the fence this time around.
The cheap side of me says just do the TKO with manual clutch and enjoy it....the extra $1000 could almost pay for an AC setup. I don't imagine I'd have issues adapting to the shift pattern of the TKO or notice the difference between hydraulic vs manual. After a quick period of getting familiar with any particular vehicle I've never had a problem.
My dad says go with the TKO and hydraulic, and out the extra $500 towards something else.
The other side of me says that the T56 is hands down the better transmission, and the $1000 really isn't a big deal at the end of the day. Despite requiring a touch more work, I think there no regrets this way. While I like the gear spacing on the 2.97/.5 trans, the overdrive just isn't workable as there is no way my tires end up under 29". I can play with tire size a bit on the 2.66/.63 setup a bit to bring the rpm down a bit if I want.
