Hey

Just found out that I can get a brand new PT cruiser tranny with Quaife installed. Only thing is its $1500 :( .

I have a quaife, but I was looking for a 3.55 sohc tranny to use it with first. Also was looking for maybe a used PT tranny.

Now I hear the PT is much stronger than the 3.55 sohc tranny as per the Neons that run with them (Mohler's Neon for example). A PT tranny should bolt up fine to our cars and will use a Quaife for 420a fine.

SRT-4 tranny needs custom fabrication and axles, but I just threw that chocie in for fun.

Seinz makes a 5 speed Race tranny for neons; dunno the price but im sure it aint cheap. :)

So should I keep my Quaife or sell it and get the new PT tranny? I'm aiming at 450 to 500hp, so with slicks I just want something that'll hold up. Before you guys quote HRC numbers, I know Bill Hahn has a stock tranny supposidly and all, but I'm just going by the majority of 420a users, which happens be Neon owners as far as reliability of the 420a tranny under high boost applications as a reference.

Poll question: 3.55 neon tranny or PT tranny?
