Tremec TR-3650

[Ash]

I'm going have in my possession a Tremec TR-3650 from a BA XR8. I'm contemplating backing it up behind my FE engine in place of the top loader. My car has 3.91 diff gears and good amount of my driving is open rural roads so the idea of an overdrive is very appealing.

I had also planned to swap to a hydraulic clutch so there is another box ticked.

Is there any thoughts on why I should not use this gearbox? A six speed would be even nicer but the 5 speed is what I have. And don't worry about it not fitting without floor mods. My car currently has no floor so making clearance for it is not a concern.

I'm not a drag racer and never slam gears. Nor am I one to do burnouts. I'm WAY to much of a tight arse for that. However my engine will be "slightly" tickled from stock and from what I have found, there seems to be all kinds of thoughts on what they are happy to do.
