    tranzilla t-56 for m1008 m1009

    tranzilla t-56 for m1008 m1009

    theres a guy i saw on a different forum that had a landrover with a 6.2 and he customized a T56 for it, but I'm curious if the weight of the truck or the length of the trans will be an issue

    has anyone heard of the tranzilla? its a modified Tremec 56 made for 4x4s. i was thinking about this as an option to go with a manual transmission and have the double overdrive option. i dont know much about swapping a trans. i hope this wouldnt be a huge undertaking but double overdrive...
