cobra t-5

[94Snake]

i heard that my cobra t-5 was stronger than a t-5 out of a gt of the same year. is this true?

 

[spdtrip]

I heard that also, it's in the middle between t-5 and world class t-5 but who knows.

the Cobra t-5 was rated to 310lb/ft and the GT t-5 was rated to 300lb/ft

The Cobras have a pocket bearing between the input and the mainshaft. This gives more support between the two.

it has things like a steel bearing retainer, phosphate coated gears, etc. but either way it can't be that much stronger.

that's kinda what i figured, that's good cause i'm scoring a free tranny out of a 95. it's from a friends car and i know it's history so it'll be better than what's in my because i know my car's history!

 

[gregbar]

Youve probably heard this before but at the power your engine is N/A why mess with a tranny that cannot take your power???

 

[94Snake]

yeah i have and trust me if the budget was there a tko600 would be installed or better yet why not a Tranzilla 6 speed! but this is the best i can do for the moment, but i understand completely what you're saying because i'd say the same thing.

 

[gregbar]

I just built a 349 for my 95 and installed a G-Force geared T-5 behind the motor.

 

[94Snake]

those are stout but it's the stock t-5 case that has me worried. i heard they fracture around 500 hp just like the stock block.

 

[gregbar]

Mine is only about 400HP so I should be OK.

What's a Tranzilla 6 speed?

What's a Tranzilla 6 speed?

I wanna know the same thing??? I know a T56 6 speed...

it's a t56 that's rated for 1200 hp and 1000 ft lbs tq.

 

[LAFENATU]

The difference in the GT and Cobra transmission is negligable.

Jebus that might be a little overkill, I hate to ask what that thing costs.
