{USERNAME} wrote: Ok looked into it definately not worth going the t56 I can't justify spending that much for a stronger box with one more gear. There's a couple of tko gearboxes for sale ATM would I only have to get a custome tail shaft to replace the T5z from my au Did you not see the post where I said a TKO CANNOT be used in an AU. The Shifter position is way too far forward, the box is way shorter. The Shifter literally comes up under the ashtray.
