Whats the status on the New OD 5 speed??

[BillyM]

I was still wondering about the installation/fit related questions I had regarding the M-800 transmission for replacing a Top Loader 4-speed transmission that I had asked in the previous post above. Is it still too early to have answers to these type of questions? Just wasn't sure what all falls under "direct fit" replacement.

At this very moment it would be safe to say, yes it is a little early on the Ford applications. We are currently working on a Tri-Five Chevy. I'm sure the Ford fitment won't be too far off into the future.

Thanks for the update. I will be curious to hear how your fitment testing goes for the Ford Top Loader replacement applications.

I'll post our findings once it happens.

At this moment we are not scheduled for that event. If you'd like to see the transmission in person, it will be on the NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series Tour. Come visit the transmission on the Manufactures Midway in the Hyatt Racing Trailor. It will be in the Great State of Pensylvania at the Reading Race Oct 7-10.

Maybe I've missed this but are there any dimensional drawings, advertised specifications (Torque, HP, applications, in/out splines) and pictures of this product? We usually get these early from our product marketing, design engineering and CAD people.

Have you gotten through final pilot run of the product?

There are drawings but nothing that will be released publicly. The advertised torque rating is 800ft lbs and will be offered in either a 1-1/8 x 26 spline or 1-3/16 x 18, output shaft will be 32 spline and will use the same yoke as a turbo 400 automatic. We currently have one in a 57 chevy that is owned and driven by clutch legend Red Roberts.

Billy, I have a 86 IROC-Z Camaro, with a BBC, is there a M800 that is being designed to replace the original T5 that came in these cars. Guys are using the tremec tko 600 with and adapter plate or the T56. I need to get a tranny for this car, if there is something in the works I would look at waiting, as long as it isn't to long, otherwise I am going to buy the T56 Magnum

The GM version should have no problem fitting the 3rd gen camaro, you'll need to fab up a new cross member and drive shaft. I personally have a 92 3rd gen that we'll have to see about test fitting down the road.
