Which transmission? Opinions

[Dino]

I first learned how to drive with a Standard but I don't want my personal vehicles as a standard. I couldn't imagine driving a muscle car with an Auto, so boring. 5 speeds were cool 20 years ago. It was time to step up so I got a 6-speed

I'm planning on stuffing a T56 in my 69. Any tips are welcome!

Don't know about the T56, but will say that the shifter can make or break the fun with the manual and would do research into that if I did a swap.   Also keep an eye on fit with driveline angles.  I am pretty sure you know both of these already, but it doesn't hurt to put them in this thread.

I wish I could mix and match A833 gearsets.

I broke down and bought the kit from SST. All of the driveline angles are suppose to be good and the shifter location is suppose to be right there on the 4-speed hump. Yeah I have to cut my tunnel but it's worth it in my opinion. I'm working 7 days a week so I hired a guy to do it for me. He's going to start on it as soon as I get my engine back form the dyno.

I asked SST to help me correct my driveline angles by modifying the tailshaft on the 5 speed I had bought from another vendor.  They did a nice job with the transmission and also added a nice shifter.  I still needed to pay attention to the shift handle with mine - kept it shorter.  Most recently I put some slightly stiffer springs in the shifter and I like the way it works and feels.  They were good to work with and open to explaining/discussing questions I had.

I have nothing but good things to say about SST so far. Glad they helped you out.
