T56 in a SPF -- We did it.

Brent; yes- you might be correct about the 7500rpm shifting. I will try to get information on this here, there and elsewhere from people who've run their veichle with this box.

There is one thing the 5- speed can't do, and that's having a close ratio up to 0,8 overdrive and then a 0,6something for highway cruising.

On the size; I wonder... We have a TKO 600 in one car; It's a tall & heavy unit compared to the T5. Is the T56 heavier and wider and taller and longer than the TKO?
I think: Wider Yes. Taller No. Longer Yes. Heavier Slightly?

If anoyone have any numbers, please post'em!

They are bigger than the TKO's....most definitely longer, and a little taller/wider.

There is about 20-25 lbs difference between the TKO and the T-56.
