gforce t-5 vs tremec 3550

[dustang85]

i have a tremec that i had rebuilt it is fresh but after all the hype i've heard about the gforce t-5 should i sell the tremec???? Can i shift the gforce without the clutch once i launch my car??? Is it streetable???

G-force makes a nasty straight cut gear kit for those T-5's so I would imagine you could shift clutchless no problem. I'd pesonally blow the TREMEC up before getting the G-Force cuz you probably won't get for the Tremec what it's worth.

That G-force with the straight cut gears also whines like hell, and will set you back a good 2 grand.

Gunna be much more then 2 grand for the dog box.... For their standard syncro kit it costs almost 2 grand since you have to upgrade the main shaft as well... which of cource is extra lol... and the dog box set is another $500 added onto the syncro kit... so unfortunatly your looking at about $2500 give or take a little... (just looked up prices since my T5 took a dump at the track It didn't liek 2nd gear with 540ft going through it haha, poor thing)

I installed the G-Force transmission 3 years ago and in that time have put approx 30,000 miles on her daily driving it and also 100's of passes down the drag strip launching at 6000rpm and power shifting everytime and i have no problems as of yet. I dont have the dog style G-Force but it still shifts like butter after all these years. i would highly recommend them. Plus they bolt right in without any modifications to the shifter, driveshaft or crossmember. The only thing is the upgrades clutch disc.

Now after saying all that, i really dont have solid evidence with the tremec as i have never owned one. Im sure they are awesome transmissions. i just wanted to comment on the G-force as i have logged lots of miles on one without any problems....
