I totally agree, although I am in a unique situation as my dad owns and operates a transmission shop here in town. He has been doing trannys for 45+ years. So I can get parts at cost and labor is well really really cheap, if you know what I mean.
I actually have a fully built T-56 with a larger viper input shaft sitting and waiting to go into my 66 nova. I am half tempted to put it into my Volvo, but then I come back down to reality and realize that trans is worth more than the car.
My dads friend actually has a couple G-force gear sets that he wants to get rid of because of the popularity and strength of the 6 speeds the t-5 market is a thing of the past.
I probably would never put a 6 speed in my Volvo unless I got a really really killer deal on one. I just want a manual that I can beat on from time to time and not have to worry about it going ka-bang!!!!
