modern stick shift transmissions

[chris chabre]

hey guys, with rising kit costs, I'm no longer buying kits for 1 or 2 parts. Are there any sources for a modern domestic performance type manual trans....

 

basically tremec 5 speed t56 6 speed etc.

 

I saying that, rattle off some kits that have them so I can search for cheap ones.

I know the Revell Saleen mustang, Revell Rat Roadster and Nascar for modern 4 speeds (though I'm mostly looking for street type stuff)

 

THANKS!!!

Kris Morgan offers a nice T56 for $3.95.

The only issue I found with Kris' T56 is the same thing that the real ones have: The rear top of the trans won't fit in some transmission tunnels without some work. My colleague had to do some serious rebuilding of the tunnel on his 1:1 'Cuda to fit one in.

Here's the Rat Roaster transmission in resin. Not in stock presently, but he replenishes quickly.

He has some nice stuff in there, I bookmarked it. He even has a cleaned-up B.O.P. TH400 that Mr. Guthmiller could use for his 69 Grand Prix.

Yes, that's an issue with pretty much all of the modern trannys, they are bigger than the older ones. I've done my share of cutting tranny tunnels.
