Default Best place to buy tranny parts?

I am going to have my T56 rebuilt, and want parts that will support roughly 550hp so I figure I should build it for 700hp. Where is the best and most reliable place to get some parts for this job?

I went with a tick stage 2 kit and I couldn't be happier. The stage 2 kit is exactly what your looking for, check out their website or you could even give Joey a call, he is extremely helpful and their customer service is superb.

Awesome thanks! Did you have to buy anything that does not come with the kit. IE different shift forks or anything like that?

When you open the case you'll find that you will need corresponding gear to the syncro. If you grind going into 3rd, you most likely would need the 3rd drive gear as well as the 3-4 syncro that comes in the Tick stage II kit.

This is the reverse gear and the corresponding syncro. You get the idea.....
