www.ddperformance.com has swap kits for T-56 6 speeds

this may sound like a newbie question but will a 6 speed help any in 1/4 mile?

Not really. Mods to your motor and upgrades to your suspension will improve your 1/4 times. The 6 speed will give you a lower fianl ratio lower your rpms at highway speeds. Look at this way,you will probablycross the traps in 1/4 in the same gear whether it's a 5 or 6 speed.

my personal opinion....dont do the swap unless its the viper spec t56. it has the .50:1 overdrive ratio which would help a bunch on the highway. the normal overdrive ratio is like .6x somthin so you could basically run one step higher gear and you'll be running the same rpm in OD;)

tko time

Really it helps road racing cause you have a higher 5th, 4th are the same i believe

Overdrive in a T5 is like .72. In a T-56 4th is 1:1 5th is .7x and 6th is .5

which tko could you put in it, and does anyone sell a conversion kit for that??? I've been thinking of doing this myself because of all the highway driving that i do

where u located i have a guy hear near me in fl with 1 for 400bucks

well call me crazy but in a 5 speed direct is 4th gear and in a 6 speed it would be 5th gear, closer gear ratio= fasteracceleration, isnt that why we put lower gear ratios in our rear ends?

1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th
94-95 t5 3.35 1.991.33 1.00 .68
2000 - 2004 cobra t56 2.66 1.781.30 1.00 .79.63

well i just shot myself in the foot lol, i would stay with a t5 but thats just me.
