Default Who builds T56 transmissions?

I have a Tremec T56 out of a 2000 Firehawk. It has 140k on it and 3RD IS POPPING OUT. I need Builder recommendations. I am looking into Texas drivetrain. Very reasonable cost, seems like enough upgrade.

Im running about 500 Crank horsepower and 460 ft lbs In a drift car. aluminum driveshaft & 4.08:1 rear end. What all should I do to my trans?????

thanks in advance for your help.

Texas drivetrain did mine. Very fast turnaround, and easy to work with. Give Jason a call before shipping if you decide to use them.

Just had my t56 built by Rick. Couldn't be happier, he even tore down my whole trans in front of me in less than 30 min and showed me exactly what needed to be replaced and why.

Sorry fellas. I'm new to this site. Didn't mean to post in the wrong section. On a positive note, I have spoken with Tick and Texas DT. Tick is a $100 cheaper due to shipping. And I'm getting my can from them as well. Ill contact a few more folks but probably going with Tick.

Texas Drivetrain costs $830 plus shipping $280 = $1110

Tick performance costs $999, free shipping.

AME EXACT BUILD SHEET FOR BOTH. GOOD TO 450 RWTQ.

IM STILL SHOPPING AROUND. I WANT ALL NEW BEARINGS TOO.

We'd be happy to do your re-build to go along with that bad *** cam you're getting!
