t56 upgrades Got the t56 out for quite a while, going to pull it down and rebuild it, Its got to handle 550hp all day, so want to build it well enough to handle a few more to be on the safe side.
Any upgrade kits or mods you would recommended, other than the Rip shifter. Is there a multi plate clutch available?

The Ute you're working with takes a same-as Monaro box?
Refresh that one with billet 3-4 keys, new blocker rings throughout, front and rear seals, depending on year a new iron 3-4 fork, careful inspection of bearings and all the synchro and gear teeth... If you're not going to hammer it with slicks the small output shouldn't be a liability but can be.

In that case, if it's a box like the 04-06 Monaro/GTO w/ triple/double synchros, look into the 32 spline upgrade Mike posted on here. It could cost you a tailhousing, 2nd gear, mainshaft, reluctor and yoke but it will be a durable SOB on launch.
What's the tag # on the gearbox and is it a 6-bolt rubber coupler at the front end of the driveline?

I'm not to LSx savvy, do you have a T56 or TR6060?
jmd has you pretty much covered,, I also upgraded the blocker rings to CF, upgraded the output shaft bushing, added bronze fork pads & got billet forks & keys & had my gears get the mikronite treatment.
check out these guys for good deals on parts> http://ddperformance.com/
and check to see if tick has parts yet for your ride, their website says "coming soon"
