The SRT trans was not made by getrag. It's was made by New Process Gear.

My bad, mental mix-up, I had a RT/TT Stealth (they had getrags..lol)
Still all things considered T-850 FTW!

It also adds to the drawback of FWD. More load on the front tires in corners. Trade offs....

Also, if the gears are bulkier then its more rotational mass and thus slows you down some.

The weight of the gears is a very negligible compared to the added strength you get. Besides you have other factors like, the bath of oil the gears are in which probably would acount for more drivetrain loss than a heavier gears.

As far as the weight goes, it may through the CG slightly further forward...but when you drive do you have a counter weight in the passenger seat to offset the imbalance of the driver, probably not. For most people the handing changes will be negligible. As far as load goes FWD are kinda screwed but it depends on the tires properties and their force vs load curve, some do better with more load and the amount of lateral forces they can handle until they reach their limit and others do not....you always have to end up compromising somewhere I guess...

so wats the final verdict here?

It's do-able, but you need to run an SRT-clutch, you don't get the weight benefit of the 350 trans, but you get the quiafe if you use an 04-05 trans.

It's up to you, I'd do a TH-350 swap since I know I can carry it by myself.

lol yeah if my spare SRT tranny weren't so dirty I would use that shit for bench pressing. It's ridiculously heavy.

Hmmm. You may just want to start doing that.

lol, like I said it's dirty so I can't which is why I have the massive guns that I do.

I currently have a 2001 ATX SE, and I'm planning on doing an SRT4 swap in the future, but I want to switch my car over from ATX to MTX now. Would it work later on to go with the TH-350 or should I just swap in the T-850 so that I'll be ready for the SRT engine?

Three cars worth checking into, all running the T-350 with no problems:

esteinmaier: 2.0L turbo, mid 12's on slicks

KrackstaR: SRT Stage 1 2.4L, SPEC Stage 2 clutch, 20" wheels

Roach: 400hp 2.0L turbo

My opinion? Go with the T-350.

Sweet. Thanks for your help!
