Those with G-force trans-need opinions

[sdc13]

I'm thinking about upgrading to a g-force t-5 when I pull the stock motor and drop in a 331/347 stroker in a few months. How do you guys like the tranny? Will it hold 450rwhp? Lets hear some opinions...

 

[zenboy99]

Absolutely love it, drops right in if you get the 94-95 version through Astro performance. I believe its rated to 550hp and can be shifter up to 7000rpm. You can upgrade the mainshaft if you want to run over 600hp. Its cheaper than a TKO swap.

yeah, i really want to do this to mine. I wonder if you can just get the kits? When i rebuilt my t-5, it was super easy, so a gforce cant be that much harder. how does it shift compared to a t-5?(not that i care too much)lol

I'll be purchasing one when mine goes which is probably shortly. Not real pleased with the Tremec stuff I've driven. TKO600 would be nice though.

yes you can just buy the kits,i believe its around 1600 on there web site.screw the tremec change this and modify that crap.im going with the g-force.a friend of mine has a gforce tranny in his 72 chevelle that runs 9's and never had a problem with it

Shifts are a tad harder but crisp. Shifts better than alot of the TKO trans I've driven (at least 6). I had a friend with a 530rwhp Fox that put a stock style shifter on it to get better leverage putting it into gear.

This is who I got mine through, $1695 for 94-95 specific.

Great guys to deal with, plus the different first gear changes 5th gear to a 0.59 from 0.63 for better mileage.

Thanks for the info. Looks like a G-force T5 is the way to go.

i have heard good things and will be going with one in my car when it is time for a clutch...

this is a bit old of a thread, but from what he just said,is that why the kits dont ship with a 5th gear because the stock 5th gear is automatically changed? by the rest of the gearset?

Very good info.

 

[gmkillr]

Stock 5th. gear is 0.68 which puts a 28" tire at 1672rpm @ 50mph
the g-force 5th. gear is 0.59 which puts you at 1452rpm @ 50mph

i dont see the 5th gear included with the kits, and i dont see it sold seperately, seems like if u buy a complete tranny then ull get one.

I have a G-Force and the thing has been doing me well for street duty. I recommend it.

I test drove a 95 gt with a g-force trans, it was noisy in the first 3 gears then it got quiet once in 4 like a stock t5.

I just popped 3rd gear in mine. I'm sending it back to get fixed. Astro performance has been nothing BUT helpful through the whole ordeal. I don't know what happened with it. I was running on the street on motor
(all 320hp of it) and granny shifted into 3rd and came off the clutch and *pow*. Now it makes HORRIBLE noises in 3rd. I'm yanking it and putting a C4 in.

 

[Pokageek]

550HP but How much torque guys?

 

[94YellowStang]

600HP 500TQ
