A customer of mine called me last week and said they quoted him $9000 on a fully built one out right. I told him I was hoping that was wrong. Last year I know for a fact they were $7600 out right. If they went up that much I am not sure why.

Can you all build something equivalent to them? How much would your setup be outright? or With me sending mine to you. That is the price I was quoted by them also.

I'm guessing all of the components are cryoed/hardened/treated/mikronited, etc., along with using tougher steels/alloys and stronger than Viper spec input/output shafts/mains. BUT STILL, $9K!!!!! Some of the import boyz can get their full sequentials for that, or not much more!!

The Tranzilla has gears and mainshaft made out of a stronger alloy steel, 9310 for the mainshaft and 8620 for the gears I believe. The only part on a Tranzilla that is stock is the case basicly, and some minor small parts.

Can you guys get the parts to build an equivalent tranny? I'm not in the market, but I'm curious.

RSG will only build tranzillas in house. We can get the same parts from G-force transmissions though.

They claim up to 1000 flywheel h.p./torque, but who knows??

I'm wondering which clutch they used to get that figure, and if it is "streetable" in any way, shape or form (I DOUBT it!)?!

I thought the claim was 1200hp. That's what Autoweek said.

Yeah, I knew it was either 1000 or 1200, but either way I wonder what clutch/rear and even which engine combo they used to get that figure??

I am getting ready to do a ridiculous project that nobody has even heard about doing! I have a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis and im going to make it into a show car/drag car. Im going to drop in a Edelbrock 555 in it, and im hoping to supercharge it (if possible), have a Moser rear end, and a PST Drive shaft. After its all done and said (yet again hopefully) I am looking to have 900 HP to the rear wheels, and first off i was wondering if those are all good combos to be able to support the HP because i really dont know that much about cars, im one of the weekend garage guys, and secondly i was wondering is Tranzilla the best transmission for the job because the $9,000 is a hefty price but i want it to be the best so im not going to have to replace it in a few months or is there another one that is out there that is as good?

If you have a project that big, you need to be talking directly to a vendor instead of relying on the internet for advice. If you are serious, give Six Speeds Inc. a call...I'd trust their advice on anything related to the T-56 transmission.

$9000 is ridiculous. You can get a new G-Force transmission for $5700 or send them yours for $4000 and they use the 9310 mainshafts and hardened gears.
