Guys,

Well I got the tax returns back so I'm getting ready to order the swap tranny kit!! I have some options available to me that the guy asked me over the phone.

I am not 100% on gear ratio's :confused::confused::confused: so I am hoping you guys can help me out, these are my choices. Not sure if this makes a difference but I have 3.73's in the rear right now. :confused:

TR6060 with Standard gear ratio (Rated at 850Ft Pounds)
1st: 2.97
2nd: 1.78
3rd: 1.30
4th: 1.00
5th: 0.80
6th: 0.63

TR6060 (Option 5th and 6th- 0.74 and 0.50)
1st: 2.97
2nd: 2.07
3rd: 1.43
4th: 1.10
5th: 0.84
6th: 0.63

TR6060 (Option 5th and 6th- 0.74 and 0.50)
1st: 2.66
2nd: 1.78
3rd: 1.30
4th: 1.10
5th: 0.84
6th: 0.63

TR6060 (Close Ratio)

2nd: 1.60
3rd: 1.21
4th: 1.10
5th: 0.84
6th: 0.67

Driveshaft is going to be a one piece aluminum WITHOUT a flange adapter- it's going to have an actual new pinion flange. He said that the flange adapter drive shafts can cause vibration. Shifter will be a Shelby Six Speed Short throw Shifter drop shipped from Shelby

+1. given that you have a centfigal supercharger and that tends to make more power up top vs. low end torque, you will want a shorter first gear especially with the 3.73 gears to get out of the hole. For comparison, 2.97 1st gear with 3.73 will give you a ratio of 11.1:1 in first gear. that is like the stock tranny you have 1st gear and 3.27's. A 2.66 first gear tranny would be like having 2.93 rear gears with a stock tranny. WOAH!

Get the 2.97 1st gear...5th & 6th up to you!

I think I will go with the 1st gear-2.97 and the 2nd gear-2.07- less of a jump from 1st to 2nd...hopefully staying more in the power band.

More power is debatable at this point- I would like to pull my engine and stroke it to a 5.0 with forged internals/CNC Ported heads as well then I could up the boost. But, with Catt and I wanting to buy a house this year I may have to skip out on that and focus on that next winter-

I am def. doing suspension work because I am not liking the lowered ride in the city- so I am going to get Steeda X5 Ball joints and the Steeda Bumpsteer kit, a lot of people have done that and they said it feels like stock ride height but way better cornering and such.

The 1st one is the stock 07-09 GT500 gearing and in 2010 they changed it for fuel mileage

10/11 GT500 gear ratios
1st 2.97
2nd 1.78
3rd 1.30
4th 1.00
5th 0.74
6th 0.50

I think you have the right idea as far as the gears being closer together. As far as 5th/6th thats up to you. The .74/.50 would help mileage for sure.

Kyle, since you do like to take longer highway cruises, I would say option the .50 6th gear. 5th/6th might not be useful for racing then, but perfect for highway.

Price depends.... you can get the whole kit minus the drive shaft for $2699 or the whole kit with the one piece aluminum drive shaft for $3499.. Then the only thing you need is a 26 spline clutch-

However, several other people have picked up all the parts separately for under two grand with a reman t6060 instead of new. All depends on what you want to do

I am going with the 2699 kit and then buying my own one piece driveshaft. For a clutch I am looking a Mcleod twin disc clutch-

My reason for this replacement is because my tranny could not handle the power- I ended up blowing 3rd gear over time... it would grind here and there and then eventually all the time...!

No worries man, you're not high jacking at all!!

I'll keep posting updates in here... It'll take about 2-3 weeks to get it here since it has to be built.

Well guys getting the transmission today along with everything that goes with it!! Install will be next weekend! :D:D

I changed my mind with the clutch I bought a RAM Steel Flywheel and RAM Powergrip HD clutch after many people told me to not go with a twin disc on the S197. I am also replacing the CHEAP plastic clutch line with a steel line- so since I am going to be bleeding all the lines, I'm going to bleed the brakes too and get new DOT 4 fluid in it!!

A lot of people run it and they say it does not hurt the seals on the system and after several stops from triple digits it still never boils... firm pedal! Will post pics up soon of the parts! __________________
