So its come to that time, my T5 has pooped out and needs a rebuild, and here is my thoughts on that. Pay $1500+ for a full rebuild plus a new clutch for a structurally weak unit, OR pay a little more and throw in a TKO or Magnum and not have to replace it when I swap the engine out. What do you guys suggest? TKO 600s are only around $2300 new, do they bolt up the same as a T5? Thanks.

1st question would be how do you mount the stock torque arm to the TKO?

There is always the popular T56 swap done by many

I was looking at the T56 since I enjoy that 6th gear that I have in my Corvette, but the T56 is only rated for ~450 Ft/Lbs of torque. this doesnt leave much wiggle room for an upgraded engine to replace my dying L03.
