Re: Richmond Transmission

I wouldnt waste the money. I put one in my corvette and was never happy with it. I shifted like ****, never vented properly. I always had gear oil blowing out the vent.. For a swap that cost me 5k I was not at all happy with the richmond. And the guy at tech support is a ******** too. I ended up selling the car.

I say no........................JUNK

Re: Richmond Transmission

You can make a T56 stronger than a Richmond, it's easier to install (no custom work), shifts better, and won't be any more expesive (if not cheaper depending exactly how you build it).
