Hey Austin
Great write-up
Any chance of you doing one on making an F23 work on a 3800? I realize your car is an auto, but there are so many people asking for info on this (mounting , axles, flywheel. clutches, etc) that it would be great to have someone knowledgeable doing a current write-up. Not sure if there is anyone near you doing an F23 swap with a 3800?

Hey!
The write-up does actually include the parts you need for F23 and other transmissions already (spread out a bit; try pressing Control+F on PC or find in page on your phone and search F23), although no videos or diagrams (because I have not done it myself). I do not have plans on installing one myself.
Here are those notes copied from the post as of today:
From "Transmission Options" section:
F23 5 speed manual - will allegedly withstand ~500hp (not covered in this guide, see note below) -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...rag_F23_transmissionF40 6 speed manual - will allegedly withstand ~600hp (not covered in this guide, see note below) -

NOTE: For manuals, (F23, F40, Getrag, etc.) everyone seems to use a Spec 3+ clutch, however sometimes Spec sends the wrong clutch. It must be MATCHED for your specific manual transmission; not any one will do and you can NOT order them online from what I understand. And sometimes even Spec puts the wrong clutch in the box. Best to call them up and verify your exact application first. I will not recommend any part numbers for a clutch since this is an ongoing issue. Your clutch may rub the transmission if they get it wrong. Contact them here -
