The 3rd gen T-5 was not used on L98 350 TPI by GM because it was not designed for the Torque. What make you think it is going to hold up on LT1???

He just said it won't hold up. Why bother if it won't last long.

Are you talking about shift kits, or rachet shifters? I don't think Hurst makes a shift kit for the 4L60, which would lead me to say B&M.

If you have the 460E now, just leave it alone. You want a manual tranny buy a car with a 6-sp.

I know nothing about ratchet shifters really, other than they exist. As for the shift kits, I personally would get the firmer one, only due to the fact that I can tune/tinker with the transmission settings. I have heard good things about the mild ones as well. You may think about getting a Corvette servo. It firms up that 1-2 shift.
