T56 rebuild

Recommended Posts

I have a T56 that came out of my '99 T/A. I am pretty sure it has a broken shift fork in it. I would like to get steel forks and carbo fiber syncro's for it. Does any one know where I can get these parts and should I look at doing anything else to it to make it stronger? Or should I not waste my money on building this and just by an aftermarket T56 like the Richmond and be done? I don't plan on making any stupid big power but what ever power I do make I want it to be able to hold it.

Depending on your skill level at rebuilding transmissions, I'd consult a shop. I think you'll save money in the long run if you get a second opinion on the damage to your T56, repair options and cost, and whether cost-benefit analysis works for getting a built tranny on your budget.

 

I highly recommend MD Transmissions in Delaware, next to Doc's place. Mark or Dave, 740-363-0054.

I found these two websites so far.

A guy that works with me used to be a tarnsmission guy at a Buick dealer in Columbus. If I get the parts he will do it for $300 but will take him a while to get it done. The one place wants $1000 for the stage 3 plus shipping of my trans to and from Washington.
