New McLeod 5-Speed Trans coming to market

[garner67]

Has anyone seen this new 5-speed trans coming out next year from McLeod? It was revealed at SEMA a couple of weeks ago, and they say it can handle over 800 ft/lbs of torque!

Any word on price?

You'll probably need to sell your FB in order to finance it.

From what I've heard, MeLeod is trying to target a price that is not too much higher than a new TKO, which costs around 2K. I'm guessing the MeLeod trans will go for something around $2300-$2500. However, you might need to purchase other parts (bell housing, shifter, etc) to make this trans fit your application.

I wish this trans was around before I purchased my G-Force T5!

I think that I'll just stick with my TKO. It will handle all the hp and torque that I'll ever make. Now, by some chance if I go all hog wild and crater the tko, then I might consider getting one.

Tranny is my next big project. Why not a 6-speed M/T??

 

[Starfury]

I just want something that will shift at high rpm reliably. $2300 isn't that bad, considering a TKO from Modern Driveline with the swapped short input shaft runs the same.

That sounds like a pretty stout tranny.

Looks strikingly similar to the old Toploaders just with interal shift mechanism instead of external shift rods......that and it's got overdrive :craz
