08 trans vs 96 trans
I've heard nothing but good things about the new trans in the 08s. So I just wanted to know with them being more sivalized if they will still be as bulletproof as the old hardcore 96 trans. I ask because I plan on upping the power with either turbo or blower and know that my trans will still be reliable but at the same time if the new trans is just as tough but is that much better I wouldn't mind swapping them. Oh I should of asked first if it is possible. The car is mostly street but is taking to the drag strip often. Thanks

Re: 08 trans vs 96 trans
Hmmm. I swapped for an '06 trans about a month ago and it works great. My old one had some problems with the syncros going out so it needed a rebuild/swap anyway. In your case, if you really feel the need to be extra careful and pull it out before introducing forced induction, my suggestion is to pull it, and take it to a well known (reputable) tranny shop. They usually inspect for free or very cheaply.
As for the 08 transmission going into a 96, I am not sure if that is possible. Mark at Woodhouse NE should be able to check, or double check. The problem you may have is that the bell housing doesn't match up. If that is the case, there will be no way you could use it. Problem number two will be the spedo. When I installed the 06 trans, I had to take the rear housing to have the spedo hold cut and threaded. The new cars spedo's run off the ABS. Since you do not have ABS, you will have the same issue to overcome. Hope this helps.... JOIN the VCA and I'm sure you'll get a better response for further inquiries.

Re: 08 trans vs 96 trans
The new tranny is stronger (because the new engine has more power) with stronger gears and synchros. So's the new differential.
