here is what you should look at getting in order-

1. tko 600 or 500 can handlke most anything
2. t56 6 speed 425ft/tq rating
3. tr 3650 360
dont go back to the t45 325 TQ (thats what you have) t45=poo

centerforce is good as well as spec
dont go with a stock clutch unless you dont plan on modding your vehicle, seeing how your a new owner means might not have caught the modding bug yet, you will get it sooner or later

If you like drag racing and plan to beat on it get the TKO 500 or 600 they are built for this and will take a nasty beating.

If you want a good street tranny and want a 6 speed the T56 is the one to get.

If you want a beefed 5speed the G-force 5-speed is also good. And if you simply wanna get a stock replacement thats better the Tremec 3650 (found in late 01-06 GT's is the ticket.

It depends on what you wanna do. Of ocurse you can use a t56 in drag racing, you can use a tko on the street you can do it all with all of them but those are what most people would do with each. But all of them will add weight except for the Gforce T5.

sorry to skip back to the beginning but what took out both your clutch and your tranny? did you take it off some sweet jumps or what.
