what is the best manual trans for the 3 valve or what is the best route to build the stock 5 speed?
Not as far as I know. Tremec designed the case specifically for the S197 using T56 internals, and for easy high rpm shifting. Those are the two major differences of the XL.Did anything come factory with the T56 Mag XL? As in, anything to look for wrecked? Looks like they are quite pricey new.
Looking for the best to street and track the car I have been looking at the magnum but figured I'd ask everyones opinion that may have experience
Other wise you can go with a 4R70W but I don't think that has an overdrive.
This ^^^. I'm seriously considering it for my NA 4.6, specifically for the close ratios.I can recommend the T56 Mag XL with the 2.66 first and the .80 5th and .63 6th. It’s like a 6 speed close ratio.
