I was tossing around some ideas in my head a while ago. Is there A t5 that will bolt up to a 2.9 and a BW1350? Also I heard of a T56 wich I believe is a 6 speed t5 pretty much. I was just thinking of a 6 speed swap for better gear selection behind a 2.9.
 
t56 has two overdrives, both 5 and 6. the second overdrive is .5 to 1, which is way too low for a 2.9 unless you are running like 6:1 final drive gears. 2.9s get their best fuel efficiency at higher revs than a v8 that could use a .5 to 1 OD.
 
Well poop. I wanted a six speed for a creepy low 1st and second. guess not. Anyone know of other trannies that will bolt up to a cologne v6 that have creapy low 1st? I know my dads toyo koygo has a really low 1st.
 
Nope. The TK is as low as it gets... What do you need the creepy first for?
 
Get a 302 and a NP435 or T18.
 
I just put it in 4lo when I need to get some torque all up in your face.
 
Idk lol I just wanted a creeper gear. IMO the tk is a stout trans if taken care of and not run hard. My dad rolled the teeth off of fifth gear in his tk twice from lugging it tho. I was just wondering in case my fm decides to take a dump on me.
