It requires the entire unit to be pulled a part but it can be done at home with the right tools.

If it's just the shift fork. it requires no special tools.

If you're going to drop it and split it, you might as well, freshen it up.

anyone have more information

someone should make a write-up for this so it can be stickied.... it seems like the 3-4 shift fork upgrade is something that should be done to any t56 that is driven hard...

i plan on doing it even though im not that mean to my transmission

There are other parts in the T56 that should be upgraded moreso than the steel 3-4 fork. Take a look......

Worn fork pads.....



Broken sycro keys.....
