T-56 rebuild ? Planning on taking out the tranny this weekend and doing a rebuild with this kit:
http://www.thegearbox.org/catalog/it...17/7824166.htm
This is an '01 WS6 so it has the better hydraulics, but my question is, what other parts of the transmission/clutch system should I look into upgrading while I am doing this? New aftermarket slave/master? Most likely doing a new clutch/flywheel too of course, but I don't know what else should be done.
Going to be attempting to rebuild the ls1 from the Camaro and swapping it into the WS6 down the road. Aiming for 500-600rwhp NA max, so the T-56 and everything must be able to handle that.

Found this complete clutch kit from Tick, so this should have me covered I think, along with their stage 2 t-56 kit. This is going to be a mission, the hardest thing I've done so far is changing the spark plugs lol.

Hey, sounds like a plan... Just do some studying and you'll be able to do anything. Just takes time. And then when you finish, you have a sense of pride about your car. instead of a sore *** and an empty walled after getting it 'installed'
but then again, you have spark plugs...
And then you have transmissions. Just be careful buddy

Thanks. Have a friend that will be helping, knows more about working on cars than me. Hasn't done a tranny, but with the guides on here and the t-56 manual, hopefully we can get it done over a few weekends.
Just moved a couple weeks ago into a condo so I have a garage again, want to try to do 99% of things without paying for labor, while getting some good experience and knowledge.
