IF there was a good Manual Trans available in the new trucks...

Turbo 400 with a gear vendors overdrive.....

You got me wondering about this.

 

[92GreenYJ]

Nope. Sure wouldn't. Don't get me wrong, I can drive a stick. And in the right vehicle I downright prefer it. Think sport or muscle car. If I got a new challenger I would want a stick probably. But for my truck which is my daily driver and tow rig I just prefer the auto.

Where I live now, I want nothing to do with a manual. I live just outside Los Angeles, CA and rush hour is really annoying with a stick. I'll stick with an automatic.

Now if I were to move back to South Carolina, I wouldn't mind having one. I sometimes drove my dad's '94 S10 with a stick when I lived out there. Wasn't much traffic, so it wasn't so cumbersome.

Why would you want a non lock up converter trans in a heavy truck?
4L80E maybe...turbo 400...no thanks.

 

[fasthemiram12]

Unbroken.. Do you still have that T56?

You lose about 300 rpms drop from the non-lockup, big whoop but with a final gear ratio of 0.78 you will still get good fuel mileage.

You have a tranny that will out perform and can take 1000 + hp and not blow up.

When there's a 1000hp 4th Gen running around lemme know.
I'll stick with a lock up converter, thanks.
I already make more power than most...and have no issues. If you drive these 5 and 6 speeds like an idiot they'll break fast. If you use your head you'll be fine.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Yea...I'm gonna hang on to the T56 until I don't have this truck anymore. I never know what I'm gonna do next and that may be it if the Sharadon trans I'm about to try out fails.

 

[Cowboy345]

If we could just get a tranny that would be guaranteed not to fail with full bolt ons that'd be great.......

 

[UNBROKEN]

The more research I do on Sharadon and what they've done the more comfortable I get. That doesn't mean they're bulletproof but they sure give em hell.

Well there is some guy on here who keeps breaking tranny's that has a blower that makes what 500hp and breaks trannies so......Blackramhemi I think with only 500rwhp lol

You have 500hp?

 

[UNBROKEN]

I have what's arguably the most heavily modded 4th Gen on the planet so....you tell me. lol

Have you had it at the 1/4 yet?

I would take a manual in a heart beat!

 

[UNBROKEN]

I've always said I didn't build it to drag race...I built it to play on the curvy stuff. It does that very very well. A manual would make it even more fun there for sure. The brakes that are on it now are too big to get a small enough wheel on for a good drag tire anyway.

 

[Crescent1101]

Depends on how it was setup. I love manual but it depends on the vehicle

I don't know? What's the power? I'm more familiar with viper trucks that spin 1200 hp....

 

[Sybil]

Oh shoot! I need to start a new thread: Who has the baddest truck on here?

 

[UNBROKEN]

You'd be a lot more fun to talk to without that chip on your shoulder.
See the little "lol" in my post? It's meant to imply humor.
If you need the whole world clarified...yes...it makes 500+ and this isn't a viper forum.
Chill out, lady. This is supposed to be fun.

You are totally reading my post wrong. I had no chip. It's so hard to have fun without boyz getting their balls in a bind, geez........you said your truck was the most modded 4th gen so I want to see dude

So what are your numbers? What's it run in the 1/4?

 

[UNBROKEN]

There's tons of threads here about my truck so I won't clog this one up anymore. If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them in those threads so this one doesn't go too far in the weeds.
