D&D sells full swap kits....
are you buying the trans. brand new or trying to retrofit something? like an 03/04 Cobra trans into a fox?

it would cost you a lot to get it to fit...
you would need to change the bellhousing, input shaft, a custom driveshaft, speedo cable, etc...probably about 1200 worth in parts...you'll then need to move the crossmember and reweld it....
the brand new ones are built specifically for foxes....
not sure how much you're getting the trans for but price out those options first...

If $ is the issue, which it is for alot of peeps, I'd go for the tko an pocket the difference. If $ however isnt, and that extra gear is, then the t-56 is the one for you.

Yup, once I got used to driving my 6-speed camaro, I had to get the T-56 for the fox. I got the kit from D&D and it hit me for a total of $3100 after shipping fees. I wanted my car to be a really fast street/track car that I could drive anywhere. I have 3:55's in the rear and my RPM's are right under 2k going about 70mph in 6th [ August 11, 2008, 05:53 PM: Message edited by: COBRAreflection ]
