6 speed tt

I will say as much as I want to go auto, cruising on the interstate last night at 80mph and 2100rpm it was nice.
I realize I should have clarified what I was asking, I was asking about the drivability of a 6 speed TT car!
That sounds nice lol
There is nothing NON streetable about a TH400 aside from having no OD which is not a big deal. On 28" tires I was around 3000rpms @ 80mph on the highway. Car got awesome gas mileage, can take long trips, trans never overheated and always performed.
Like I said above I wasn't asking about how streetable a TH400 car is, I was asking how streetable a 6 speed TT car is. But yea I've read posts from you about the TH400 before and your one of the main reasons I'd like to go TH400. How much on top of a built T56 would I be out for a TH400, a full swap.
i was out like 600 bucks
Wow really? Thats not bad at all!
I fell on some really sick deals
Would you recommend buying used?
Turbo 6 speed here. I like it. Auto would probably be faster and more fun. Turbo lag is a problem is you stomp it in the wrong gear. Taking off from a stop is no problem at all.
I've got a wotbox so I probably only drop about 1/2 psi when wot shifting. Tires spin between every gear. For what it's worth I'm shifting at 7300. I wish I would have tried the 4.30s once out before I swapped to 3.55s.

I have a TT 6-speed car it drives just like stock not a problem at all. I drive it all the time I've been driving it for about 6 months with the new setup no issues at all.
I still have the 6 speed with twin 61s for over 2 years now (700rwhp at 15psi). Its fun, drives like stock and its my DD. The T56 is so damn notchy though its hard to slam through the gears. I'm thinking of going auto but I need the OD since I travel with the car too.
drove 2 hours today with the th400 thought of this thread
If money isn't limited, and you want to go auto w/overdrive, why not look into a gear vendors overdrive setup on top of a built auto?
And one more post that makes me want TH400
bumping this back up.
Are the prices you guys are quoting for the swap including labor? I do not have the resources nor knowledge to do the swap myself. I would need to bring it to a shop.

Parts only

Yea it is not cheap. Its kind of a alot of work as well. I would expect a normal shop to charge somewhere around $1000to install a setup similar to mine.
were you running dual trans coolers? I installed a second one in mine (trans can never be too cold) couldnt get it hot even if i tried cruising 2 hours in the Florida Summer
