Whos running one or had any experience with one? Ive got one from a 92 Z28 with a B&M Ripper shifter and was wondering if they are streetable or just track. Ive heard they are a little too rough to be used as a daily driver. I wanna put something behind my 355CID and am looking to be a little different and not use a T56. Any help would be awesome. Thanks

I'm going to assume that this is not a factory transmission from that 1992 car? If it is, it would be a T5.

The doug nash is a fairly strong gearbox, but as I remember it is a 5 speed with no overdrive which makes it a bit of an oddball (richmond builds one now that I think is based on the old doug nash design). But, with a 3.23 gear and the extra low first, it is not bad.

 

Just do the T56:P

I'll even do the install for you. ... I mean with you.

 

The T56 swap gets my vote. It is not hard (I've done a T56 in a 1984 Camaro and a T5 in a 1989 Formula). The T56 is a great way to go.

 

No its not the stock tranny. I definetly know the difference The Doug Nash is actually my buddies but is mine due to some money owed issues. But the T56 is like $2000.00 CDN which Id rather spend on other stuff. Im just asking if the Nash is a streetable transmission as Ive heard from some guys its not very street friendly. Ken...maybe lend me a bag of money like the ones under your bed and Ill do it...LOL Congrats on the air care deal. Shane told me he would guarantee a pass.

 

The Doug Nash 4+1 was basically a T-10 with a first gear. If I remember right, they recommended running a 2.73 or 3.08 rear since 5th is 1:1.

Richmond now makes it and the 6spd, which is the same thing but with overdrive.

The DN is perfectly streetable and should hold up to some serious abuse.
