Default T56 help...

So I have a few problems right now. First off I need a new Master Cylinder and possibly a clutch, and now I believe my tranny is in need of a rebuild.

Here is what I need,

I want the tranny to be able to handle around 700hp and about 800 ft lbs. Right now I plan on spending about 2000 for a new master, spec stage 3+ clutch, and the tranny rebuild.

I took a transmission class back in college and rebuilt A LOT of 4 and 5 speed trannys. I am pretty sure I can do it myself (i'm pretty mechanically inclined) and like the fact that I do ALL the work on my car myself instead of relying on someone else to do it. So, is there some type of manual I can get to show dissasembly and reassembly of the T56? I basically just need something to show me where all the parts go since I really can't remember what I did yesturday.

Also, where can I get a decent priced rebuild it? Now just because I planned on spending 2000 doesn't mean I really WANT to spend that much.

The manual is available here as a PDF file. There are several forum sponsors that can help with the parts you'll need. Six Speeds Inc. is one of the more popular ones with a great reputation for customer service and expert advice.

The manual that Allvette posted is the one I use, it shows you where everything goes with lots of good exploded pictures.
