well, 3 weeks ago i ordered it finally, and it just got hear after the tail housing being on back order for like a week. after the rest arrives, I'll put it in, measure for the drive shaft and have them send that out... then, VICTORY DONUTS!!!:D

Nice! She sure has come a long way. :)
I love your car. Maybe that's why I want this WHite Sport so badly...
what are you doing with your t-5?
Man that bad boy looks heavy, looks like your gonna need a tranny jack to get that it.. Couple times wrestling with putting in the t-5 I felt like I was gonna lose I can't imagine trying to solo that bad boy
heavy idnt it. i couldnt belive how much heavier it was than my t
Holy hell man, is that thing brand new?
that bitch will bolt right in?
holy f*ck balls dude.
lol, it feels maybe 20# heavier than the t5, maybe more I'm not sure lol. last time i picked up a t-5 i hadn't been to the gym in a year or so, and now I've been going every day for almost a month so its kinda hard to compare. i hope i don't have to wrestle with it more than once tho lol.
yeah i remember almost being able to carry the t5 around like it was a kid or something, i don't think I'll be carrying this one on my shoulder any time soon tho lol.
yup i got it from D&D
sold it about 6 months ago to a friend of mine to help fund the cost of new parts lol.
thanks man, i loved my turbo, but the low end torque on the 5.0 is pretty sweet... i still miss the turbo spooling up and making that hissing sound, and feeling it come into play. one day, I'll have a supercharger or something and that should fix that lol.
Ok... so that isn't actually any different than say an F-body T56 or a Cobra T56 is it? People just put Viper in front of it because it's the same tranny that Vipers use right... and that makes it umm... more "badass"? Lol sorry, but I hear this so much, and just think to myself, it's a 6 speed tranny that can handle a good ammount of power stock.
I think the Viper was the only one with a .5:1 6th gear stock. Im probably wrong though.
no, you are right. some of the corvette t56s have the .50 6th as well. the viper also uses a 26 spline input shaft and a different outputshaft as well. most of the vipers vettes and 03-04 t56s have a 2.66 1st though. very tall gears for first. the 00 cobra r tranny has 2.95 first and more even gear ratios but has a 6th of .62 like the regular cobra t56. all he gearing in these things are a little funky. i wish 1st and 2nt was a little steeper in my 03-04 cobra t56. my t45 has a 3.35 1st. i need 3.90 rear end gears just to get back to where i was in 1st and second with the t45. that puts me a touch deeper into the motor at 75 mph in 6th than id reay cared for. i realy wish i had bought the viper trany. heck at least the 00r tranny. this one isnt bad though, just not "just right" either one of the 2 would have been alot more money than i spent on the cobra t56 though.
cangrats Nate. thats gonna be frickin sweet!
don't forget the heavier duty internals that make it able to handle about 650'# of torque. plus, I'm pretty sure it will move the shifter location back almost an inch, so it will be a little more comfortable.
holy poop can i please touch it ill be over in a minute!! lol j/k im excited for you and a very jealous u better chain it to your couch cuz im comin t0 get it. congrats!!
No, the Viper-spec T-56 uses a different gearset with a .50 sixth gear (as opposed to .68) and it has a stronger headset than the other variety T-56's...it will handle more torque than Nate may ever throw at it...never know when he might order a turbo though...lol.
lol, call me buttstuff, but I'll take my overkill over having a busted t5 that sounds like a box of rocks with only one working gear lol... like a few people i know :p
THe T56 is a nice trans, Did I miss it or doesn't the "Viper Spec" come with a 26 spline input shaft?
Lot of '03-04 Cobra swap the input shaft to the 26 spline for more POWER.
I have a T-56 for my old cougar project.
you are correct sir. it also has a different output shaft. also, my clutch kit, and cross member came in today, maybe Friday I'll see the bell housing and new billet flywheel, then i can start assembly.
You will have to move your crossmember back.
A buddy just put one in his SN95 stang.
He likes it pretty well.
