need to rebiuld t56 on budget & strong ok so i just picked up a t56, it's out of of a trans am i think, any way the guy said it all works fine except 5th and 6th grind kanda bad. its gonna be going up to a 650+ horse 383 (in time) and in a car that wieghs 2000 pounds so i know that wieght plays a difference in strenght needs compared to a trans am or something. so what are my optins? a complete rebuild kit? the budget is kinda tight so that plays a factor like always, ideally keep it like $800

steel shift forks, bronze fork pads, carbon blocker rings and a new bearing kit will make it pretty solid. those mods should net you around $800 installing them yourself

What year is the tranny? Not sure but I think pre 2000 had the old second gear in it that comes apart pretty easy. I didn't know this when I rebuilt mine and took second gear apart on the first hard shift. It's about $130 bucks from sixspeedsinc...
