I'm seriously curious about this, because this rumor has persisted on this forum for well more than a year.
Where did the rumor start that the t56 won't shift at high RPM?
People have been swapping the magnum into the S197 Mustang for 4 years, revving to 7500 stock, and
nobody has had problems. That's every bit of the revs that our little 2.0 sh*tbox engine makes and more.
People have taken the (otherwise stock) Boss 302 to
8250 RPM's with a T56 magnum XL swapped in and they shift
just f*cking fine. With no internal mods.
I'll remind everybody that this is also with a larger diameter, heavier clutch disc that is harder on the synchros, and a bone stock HP of 444 (420 for the base GT)
