Just wondering which transmission is better and what are the goods/bads and differences between the two??? (Besides one being a 6 speed and the other a 5 speed) What is the max torque each can handle???? Thanks
I don't know the ratings of the TKO's but D&D said the T-56 in my car should easily handle 600+ ft-lbs of torque. They are conservatively rated._02StangGT_ said:So what are the max torque numbers on the two trannies???? I have read about the T-56 in a 03 cobra with a Kenne Bell holding up to 700 pounds of torque and also read of a TKO holding the same.
D&D will install custom gears for additional cost.kirkyg said:isn't there a company that sells a T-56 with selectable (within certain categories) gearing for each gears? That would simply be awesome.

IMO, the TKO's stength isn't "much" better. Maybe marginally better. There are other benefits to the T-56 like refinement (i.e. smoother shifting), better gearing for road course racing, it is much quieter than a T-5, with an 0.50 OD ratio you can run steep gears and keep the highway rpm's down for better mileage. The only real disadvantage of a T-56 compared to a TKO is the extra cost and maybe a little harder installation for Fox cars.neoclasiccl said:The TKO is a much stronger tranny. The only benefit of the T56 is your gears are closer together and helps you stay in the power band better. But for strength the TKO is much better
If someone has a motor that needs that has an 800+ torque rating then they should be deciding which automatic transmission to buy. In 99% of cars, a T-56 is plenty strong.stallion98gt said:X2C v1.0 TKO...nuff said....handle +800 tq for around $1700...
