Built T-56 Swap Kit Category: Drivetrain
Price: $5300
Part Fits: 93-02 Pontiac Firebird, Corvette
Location (State): OH
Item Condition: Used
Engine: LS1/LS6
LS Engine?: Fits LS Engine
First items up: I have a D&D BA79 T-56 Magnum. It is built to handle 700lb-ft of torque. It has standard GM gearing (I can give you that if you want it). It has all of the typical internal upgrades in a built trans along with the 31 spline output shaft. They used to call it the "chevy viper transmission". It now is just the magnum. It comes with a QuickTime steel bellhousing that is SFI 6.1 approved (will need to be recertified which is typical).
Along with the trans, I have a Monster level 3 clutch with 18lb lightweight billet flywheel, ARP bolts for the clutch, Tick adjustable master and speed bleeder, an MGW F-Body shifter with black ball ****, the "power tower" shifter that came with the trans, the upper console for a 98-99 with 6 speed, the manual pedal setup, BMR cross member with torque arm relocation, and any other bits and pieces required for an A4 to M6 swap.
This was an A4 to M6 swap that I did back in the summer of 2010. All parts have under 3,000 miles on them, 1,000 of which were highway miles while driving my car back from Maine to Virginia when I got home from deployment. All street driving. No hard launches. ZERO track time. All parts were fully functional and had no strange feel or sounds when last driven. Tuning shop claims to have never got the car on the dyno. They claimed that as soon as they started it, the engine blew (snapped #6 rod clean in half). If this is true, then the trans has never even seen a dyno pull. This thing has not been beat on whatsoever. No nitrous hits on this trans. 99% of the miles on it were full exhaust and cold air only.
If you buy all of the items I have listed new in order to do your swap, you will end up spending at least $6,500-$7,000. I know, I did it. I am asking $5,300 and am open to some negotiation on the price, but no low ball offers. This kit has all of the upgrades that anyone with a 6 speed usually ends up doing, all in one package. A new trans like this costs $4,000 on its own. I do not want to ship this but will drive up to 4 hours in any direction from Cincinnati, Ohio to meet someone to make the sale.
If you have any questions or need any additional info or pictures, feel free to PM me or give me a call or text on my cell at 757-831-7479.

I would really like to sell the whole clutch together instead of just the flywheel. Would be extremely hard to sell the rest of the clutch without the flywheel. For the trans, bellhousing, and clutch, I will ask $4000. Are you interested in the hydraulics too or do you have those already?

I got my A4 to M6 complete swap on here a few months ago for $2500, with exactly everything you have listed except mine came with the stock bell, but your trans looks very clean and the center console looks brand new. I wish you had this up a few months ago would have worked a deal with you. But good luck with the sale for the right price and person it will not last long, free bump for ya.

Exactly. And you already had a core trans. If you bought it completely new and viperized, they are around $4000. Hawks thirdgenparts does stock pullout conversions for about $2200. But then you have to upgrade everything anyways. Someone will get a fantastic deal on this if they decide to buy it. No waiting a year for it.

Alright. Clutch and hydraulics are gone and MGW is spoken for. Now about that thransmission and bellhousing. I am sure there is someone here with a stock T-56 that is grinding and needs to be overhauled. Replace your wore out trans and your flimsy stock aluminum bell housing with a nasty D&D unit and Quicktime housing. Power Tower shifter will be included, as well as a BMR cross member. And for you A4 to M6 guys, I still have the entire upper console for a 6 speed car, as well as the pedals for a manual car. Once this sells, I will be posting up my Moser, BMR suspension, nitrous kit, and induction setup. The sooner this sells, the sooner the other parts become available. Asking $3,500 for Trans, bell housing, and cross member.

Most other support piece for the trans are gone. Trying to move the trans, bellhousing, and crossmember now. Asking $3,300. Built tranny with SFI approved steel bell. Heavy Duty crossmember. For those of you buying a complete trans, you will either have to source a core and spend at least another $2000 getting it built plus the bell housing, or buy one already done and ready to bolt in. Open to reasonable offers.
