im more interested in the limited slip

[1bad4dr]

Yup. My dealer has two of the 6 speeds in D status. They will call me in when they arrive. I am going for a test drive. hehe

hey that was @ E-town NJ when Dodge was down with SRT Experience....
yeah they need to get a driver in these cars to show the true ET

[Daniel454]

Yep, very interested in a manual tranny for my Mag.. probably be some time before a retrofit kit will be available, especially since the TCM will have to be cracked I am sure, but hey, it WILL happen, at one time we couldnt even put in different rear gears and now look at us!

[Smoove06CSRT]

All Manuals are on hold at Brampton due to Rear end issues.

[Carfinish]

^^^ what kind of issues??? any insite

[Ruff n Tuff RT]

yup they have it on the dodge website already
this is the one

[Super T]

I'm convinced it's already possible, nobody wants to up the coin though.

[FastWagon]

it's possible converting to a 727.. I'd rather have the 6 speed than the 727 and a gear vendors overdrive

[Super T]

^ Dave, no difference, either way you're getting the computers to ignore the trans. 727 would be on a manual valve body.

[FastWagon]

that is true... but 727 imo would require a lot more custom work. We priced it out very recently and it just wasn't anywhere near justified. hence going with the nag1 again instead.

I look forward to seeing what comes from the challenger having a manual

[Redfox0099]

What issues with the rear end..like half shafts breaking or what?

[Super T]

Dave - You've probably had more conversations about it than I have. Isn't there already a bell housing to mate the 727 to the Hemi block? The trans mounting plate would probably have to be from-scratch, but hopefully that's not too difficult, depends on the mounting points on the new trans.

Regardless, all I know is I want a 6-speed for the sake of fun. In my opinion, that's what a muscle car oughtta be. That's part of what made the cool cars cool when I was growing up. Big V8 + roots blower + 6-speed manual = hella good time, I don't care what it puts down at the track.

the TR6060 used in the challenger has remote shifter cables, so that they can run through the same hole in the firewall as the auto shifter. the clutch pedal uses the same master cylinder resevoir, just needs a hanger, and a second hole in the firewall. floor pans have a raised section for clearance (as well as being 4 inches shorter). the master tech mentioned a couple of floor bracings as well. (subframe connectors, and transverse brace under the rear seat.) i'll post the master tech to the knowledge base later.
