Right around 3k for complete internals. I'm going to try to get the manufacture to install the first 3 sets in the trans for us which will raise the cost a little because of shipping the trans back and forth to Europe but then we know its right. I might possibly be able to get a tech to fly over here and do the install either way would be cool with me.

And yes I have spare transmissions to use for the install so you can keep your car on the road til its done. We can just do a swap when the time comes.

I still have a lot details to get locked in..

perfect! I love the t56 in my camaro but keeping the stock trans in this car is ideal for my setup.

Spencer Fabrication is making a bolt in T5 option if that helps. If you love a T56 Call Mark and ask if his kit will do a T56..... If not, this option should be ready soon.....

Interested but I'm in Australia...

Ya i saw the t5 option but a factory trans is only 300 ftlbs. After paying to upgrade the t5 to a much higher rating, the t56 would of been better. T5 atleast has longer gears but t56 wont eat my wallet in gas.

Now if this kit your offering uses the factory trans with stronger gears and bigger synchros then im also down. ideally handle closer to 400 ftlbs.

I will be very interested in this. Will send PM too. But some things that would be helpful for us all to know:

1. Potential torque ratings
2. Helical or straight cut gears?

Are you looking for abusive or just guys that are outside the engineered limits of our trans?

We are not looking to destroy them but rather push the limits of the car. My car makes 700hp and I will be flat foot shifting thru 5th gear on a drag strip and launching the car at 7000rpm. Other things we are looking for are track drivers that shift up and down repeatedly. Then a spirited street driver would be nice.

2086GT · 12-11-2016, 05:30 AM

Your definition of spirited street driving?

GsxrMe · 12-11-2016, 10:07 AM

What is this fabricator rating these new internals for?

FRS Johnny · 12-12-2016, 02:20 PM

I have a turbo car that does lots of spirited canyon driving and occasional track days every few months! I have noticed the transmission acting up once I boosted the car. I hope this becomes a reliable and cost effective solution!!
