# Transmission Options

|
## Tremec TKO / TKX
|
|
|
|
## T56 / TR6060

|
T56 - Way too expensive. $2000 before you can even get your hands on one.
|
|
|
|

A lot of canyons and colorados can be found in the UPull&Pay Junkyard. It's not clear how many of them are potentially manual transmissions...
|
|
|
|
| Part | Vendor | Cost |
|
|
| ---------------- | ------- | ------ |
|
|
| AR5 Transmission | eBay | ~$1000 |
|
|
| | UPullIt | ~$180 |
|
|
### FABbot Kit Costs
|
|
The all in one kit costs $1459.06.
|
|
It includes
|
|
- 3x Redline MT-90 Transmission fluid
|
|
- LS1 Flywheel
|
|
- Cyber Clutch
|
|
- 4L60E Bell housing and hardware
|
|
- Spacer for slave cylinder
|
|
- 36" Feed line
|
|
- Slave cylinder with -3 fittings
|
|
|
|
Piecing it together instead yields
|
|
|
|
| Part | Vendor | Cost |
|
|
| -------------------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
|
|
| 4L80E Bellhousing | UPullIt | $50.00 |
|
|
| GForce Performance Adapter Plate | GForce | $279.20 |
|
|
| T56 - LS1 Clutch Kit | RockAuto | ~$200.00 |
|
|
| Slave Cylinder | RockAuto | ~$50 |
|
|
| Flywheel | RockAuto | ~$75 |
|
|
| Clutch Hydraulic Line | RockAuto | ~$63.89 |
|
|
| Clutch Alignment Tool | RockAuto | ~$1.55 |
|
|
| Transmission Fluid (3x) | RockAuto | ~$20 |
|
|
| **Grand Total** | | **$741.00** |
|
|
Yeah that's $700 in savings right there. Sounds good to me.
|
|
|
|
Will likely need a new master cylinder too.
|
|
Rock Auto has one for ~$30 bucks.
|
|
|
|
It looks like if I can find a used one in the junkyard I can have a complete transmission assembly for close to $1000.
|
|
|
|
### Mounting
|
|
I think I may have a mounting solution. I'll just have to modify my current transmission mount. Cut the barbells off, and then just fucking send it.
|
|
There's also this one: https://apexengineered.com/shop/z31-300zx/transmission-mount/
|
|
## Z32 Transmission?
|
|
Take a serious long look at this. There is big potential here.
|
|
Pros: transmission mounting would be easier, driveshaft likely easier
|
|
Cons: transmission is rare, not necessarily easy to get.
|
|
Too Expensive
