I own a 4 speed manual transmission but was thinking of either bolting on a GEAR VENDORS or swapping in a late model 5 or 6 speed. What would be better?
The answer to this question is much like the same question automatic guys have when they have a 3speed auto and are thinking of maybe a late model overdrive automatic swap so read that question also after you have read the following. Muncie M20, M21, M22, Borg Warner T-10, Ford Top Loader, and Mopar A833’s are the best manual transmission ever made for performance street/strip use and abuse. This is why they are still used in Nascar. As soon as you put a 5th gear in the trans you compromise a lot of strength. So the late model 5 or 6 speed will not handle as much horsepower. The 4 speed muscle car era transmission are also much easy to shift fast (you really cannot powershift a late model five speed) where you feel like you would break the Hurst shifter off in your hand before hurting a quality 4 speed. The moment you bolt a GEAR VENDORS to your 4 speed you have not only added the strongest overdrive gear but one that can also fix any wide ratio issues with M20 or T10 transmissions for
