[64speed]

In my attempt to either build the worlds nicest 64 Tempest or light cash on fire depending who you ask I have stumbled across the rockland standard gear t56 magnum. Basically after talking to the head of the aftermarket sales division he told me that nothing I could ever do to it would break it and he would warranty it for life against everything except an improperly setup (engaging/disengaging) clutch.
It’s basically a blueprinted T56 magnum with even more robust parts installed and the shifter mechanism reworked to make it shift like glass. It’s exactly 900 bucks higher than SST just for the transmission. SST wants 3200 for their magnum and they want 4100 for Tranzilla. Thoughts?

[HWYSTR455]

I know a few people who have that trans in high HP cars and they are surviving abuse. The one is a Stage 1 70 GS, and has a professionally built 455 in that 10 sec car. Another is a 2006 Z06 with a pro built engine with a supercharger, just a hair below 1000HP.

I don't agree with the clutch setups Rockland recommends, but they are fairly indestructible. Neither of those folks have issues with their' setup, and have been driving them for over a year.
