    I believe my next trans will be a TKO600...

    I found out I can buy an A5 from TMS for $1995 + shipping with no core required. I'm seriously considering buying one. Maybe I'll wait till I break my T5, which I don't think will be long. Easier to justify the expense to the wife that way!

    I have no use for the winter at all. Our first T&T was canceled due to weather and it's not looking too good for this Saturday either.

    I really have a hard time believing that the A5 can handle that kind of power... What is done to the mainshaft to strengthen them?

    The A5 is supposedly rated at 600hp/600tq. They do have a special alloy mainshaft available but it's the extra meat on the gears that gets the job done.

    A friend on mine running in the 10's tore up T5's pretty often. He bought an A5 and ran all of last year without any problems at all. He runs every week and I know he shows no mercy on his power shifts.

    The G-force T5 and the A5 carry about the same rating, and I've not heard much negative about either. I want a T5 style racing transmission (I'm looking at a face plated one) so I can swap in one of my stock T5's for cruising in the off season without any problems.

    Before I buy anything I'll have to talk to Leonard Long, the owner of G-force as he races at our track and is the sponsor of the class I run in. I hear he gives good deals to us Beaver guys.

    There is a gforce t5 for sale on new Hampshire craigslist right now- Gforce case, gforce mainshaft, and cluster support plate. Has thirty passes on it. He is asking 1900.00. Out of my league, but you guys might be interested.

    I have 2 toploaders and one T5 but I really want a TKO600. mmb I deal with the guys at Astro alot but if they arent replacing that mainshaft I have a problem with trans being so expensive. I believe all the T5 issues are derived from the mainshaft flexing... Just my .02 . Now back to listening to the Bee Gees and in my zen state of mind.

    I looked up that g force and it's just what I want, face plated and straight cut gears. Looks like a good deal at that price. But I'm not quite ready to take the plunge yet and I wouldn't feel comfortable spending that kind of money without being able to see it with my own eyes. New Hampshire is just too far away for me to go pick it up in person.

    Well, if you want to buy it, I will pick it up and store it at my house for you. I will even put it in my car and make sure it is working.
