Id recomend the tko if your going to be modding your car. I had to replace my stock tranny and kick myself for getting another 3650 every time i drive the car. At the time though i did not know of the tko series. It will be more expensive than the 3650

Depends on if you even need a TKO. They are made to hold big horsepower. Are you going to mod your car to the point where its worth the extra cost?

screw the 5-speed, go with the t-56. its already strong as hell. i seen many 700+ horsepower cobras beating the hell out of it.

I dont see the advantage of the double OD unless you want to run 800 mph with the T-56

They were both bad syncro's. The first one went in 3rd and fourth, and the last 3650 I had the 5th gear syncro was dead, and I was losing 3rd. TR-3650's suck *****.

I've never had a problem with my tko-500, and you shouldn't come at me with a smart *** comment like that.

I'm not getting my "pannys" in a wad, you just shouldn't have said what you said the way you did.

It cost 1800 dollars, I got it installed for 600.

So then the verdict is get the tko500?? Becuase if i were to get the t-56 i would have to shorten my drivetrian and get new cross members right???
