While it is a manual trans, I wouldn't go out of my way to own a G56.. I love manual transmissions, but I'm pretty sure I'd rather have the new Ford auto than a G56....

The G56 isn't as BA as the NV5600 or ZF6, you can really bang through the gears...not as clunky as a NV5600

Hmmmm... $4500 vs what maybe $1000 for a ZF5 swap? I like how Brian's transmissions shift and they definitely hold the power, but if your going for the cheaper route, BTS isn't the cheapest. LOL If I was to buy a built auto, I'd probably have to go with RacerX. Everyone and their mom runs a BTS.

Me... everything I do to my truck aims to last forever. None of it does, but im willing to spend to make it last.

Actually, if you have a 4x4 5-speed with manual hubs, you can always shift to 4L with the hubs unlocked, giving you an effective 10-speed.
Back to the general topic, I remember seeing a thread in the tranny section on the 'nation, guy's OEM E4OD dying, asking "who makes a good replacement". I sheepishly answered "ZF"; no replies
