Well, looks like G-Force for me....

We've talked about it a good bit here. I guess I'm going to just bite the bullet and buy a G-force kit. Since the motor and tranny are already out, might as well do it now. I don't want to have to tear the tranny right back out shortly after finally getting it on the road.

Looks like I'll be getting the Helical Cut set with an upgraded 9310 nickel steel main shaft, upgraded shift forks and upgraded cluster plates. With that, the tranny should be 600 ft.lbs + ready.

I thought G-Force made racing suits and driving shoes. . .and gloves and helmets.




But congrats on this kit thing you are getting.

You are correct.

G-Force Transmissions is what I'm referring to.

Re: Well, looks like G-Force for me....

I would venture to say part of Brad's reasoning is to not have to switch bellhousings, shorter DS, and shifter for a Tremec. The G-Force is a bolt-in affair.

the tko 600 comes with a good shifter.and all you have to swap is a bellhousing and get a driveshaft spacer.....having seen the way g-force acts with their customer service i would buy the tko 600........but as always he is free to do what he wants


whats the price of the g force???

Yes I know. I just didn't think I needed to type it. Just trying to make the distinction between the TKO line and the 3550's.
