any books on manual transmissions? i am looking to expand my knowledge on transmissions i have a t56 so im looking more into manual transmissions i am soon going to be doing a rebuild and naturally i want to gain a little more knowledge before i do more harm than good so any books or dvds (preferably books) would be helpful and any books or dvds on sbc's or performance engines or transmissions in general would also be appreciated thanks guys. (and im not looking for the entire history of the sbc i want informative books on rebuilds and horsepower).

GM has a Unit Repair Manual, which shows how to disassemble the transmissions and repair them. They come in a two volume set. One for all of their automatics and one for manuals. They are sold at www.helminc.com
Or, there is a less extensive T-56 specific manual posted on the web: http://cs.pontiac-club.com/graphics/...viceManual.pdf

Hands-on such as at a local vocational or comm. college can be invaluable. Getting your hands on parts that you don' have to worry about screwing up (like Mustang T45s 
) is good. A teacher who has spent some years as a professional tech can make the class great.
