[QUOTE="Jr. Corvette, post: 115076, member: 1906"] Hey guys, After driving the car this season I had a lot of fun but I think the factory TH400 is taking some fun away. It turns 3200 rpm cruising on the highway, has a bad clunk into reverse, I'm not sure about you guys but shifting into 1st from second sounds like the trans dropped out of the car, wide gear ratios make accelerating feel slow and third feels like a dreadfull lug. I have been pouring over tons of forums and websites trying to find a nice transmission. My future goals are 700-800hp so I'd like a transmission that is capable of that. I would also like to do some highway driving so a nice OD would be nessesary for fuel economy and headaches. I don't launch the car too much but I'd still like to on occation and not be worried about the transmission. I would like to do road corse so I'd like at least some control over shifts on occation. At first I thought about the T56 or even TKO 600 with a double clutch setup. Still would be interested in this but a strong enough transmission costs big bucks, then extra $1500 plus bellhousing in converstion costs. It fits all my criteria though so I may just have to bite the bullet. With the tight foot wells is shifting a hassle? So what would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
