G-Force make a unit that is a direct replacement for the T56: check them out at G-Force transmissions - - Google it. Not cheap either.

ouch, 5695 for their top o the line t56




With the optional G-Force mainshafts, these kits have the ability to handle approximately 900* horsepower and 800 ft-lb. of torque depending on the application

Lets open this up a bit as I would like to know what options are out there for a manual tranny made to support 1kwhp. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to who has what?

What kind of tranny does Tosto have in his HOSS? Don't forget the drive train doesn't care about HP, only torque. I can't quote any specific power outputs, but I see quite a few people with stout setups, H/C, bigger cubes, forced induction and N2O useage using T-56s that have been rebuilt with tougher internals. Maybe get in touch with a few of the sponsors and see what they think and have to offer.

LENCO!

...oh they are only 5 speeds, well you can probably add another section for another gear (think major tunnel hackage). Also I think you can shift without pushing in the clutch

also, G-Force makes other stout 5 speeds, based on the Doug Nash 4+1 / Richmond 5 speed design. Don't forget Jerico for strong manuals...

Rockland Standard Gear has a T56 they call "Tranzilla", which they claim is good for 1200hp/1000 ft.lbs. torque. Could not find a price on it, but I'm sure it's north of $6K, anyone know for sure??

If you can afford 1000 HP, you can surely afford that
