I did a basic rebuild about three months ago and replaced all the wear parts with STOCK SHI*. well its trashed now, so i gotta pull it apart once more. so in short steel fork, bronze fork pads1-4th, billet keys, carbon blocker rings. dont be dumb like me now i gotta do it twice, im starting to get real good at these t56s anyone know a tranny shop that hiring.

I have only seen 1/2 keys break in 2 out of 600 that we have built, and those were because the 1/2 blocker rings were totally destroyed. The (3/4,5/6) keys are $75 for 3 keys, and 3 keys will do one slider. No one makes billet 1/2 keys that I know of, you can buy a Corvette slider and get the solid keys. The vette slider is about 1/3 more money than its f-body counter part. The vette keys need to be slightly modified to fit into a f-body slider.

I just dont have a lot of money alloted for the rebuild. the swap already costs a lot.
Do you have a pic of the billet keys? That would be awesome.

I notices in some builds jsut replacing the 3/4 keys and not the 5/6. I may go that route, is that stupid to save a buck?

No, that is not stupid, we don't usually do the 5/6 billet key unless requested by the customer. I only recomend if you are road racing into 5th alot or do lots of roll racing shifting to 5th gear. 95% of my customers don't powershift into 5th gear.
I can do $150 with free shipping.

So im gona order:
Steel 3-4 shift fork
Syncro rebuild kit
Billet 3-4 slider
do those little bronze pads really help? I took the tranny apart and they look brand new.

ha alright, but thats it, I cant afford any more ****! I already have to use the stock clutch until I sell my 4l60e then use that money to buy a decent one. So I have to take the tranny out again.
