SOLD!! LEVEL 5 T56 w/ Z06 5th and 6th for Corvette C5 Category: Drivetrain
Price: $2600
Part Fits: Corvette
Location (State): IN
Item Condition: Used
Engine: LS2/LS3/LS7/L92/LS9, LS1/LS6
LS Engine?: Fits LS Engine
It WILL ALSO work with a C5 with a stock C5 rear if the mainshaft on the rear is modified to the Z06 30 spline. RPM does this all the time for about $300
The transmission is currently at RPM and can be shipped from their establishment.
After trying several different types of transmission ratios including the aftermarket, I realized that for my uses the combination of the M6's 1st through 4th gear and the M12's 5th and 6th gear would give me the best driving experience in different scenarios.
C5's respond so easily to mods, especially when going for additional horsepower. The close ratios of the M12 can be a burden when driving on the street and for some people like me, a burden when having fun. Having the wider ratio M6 with the closer ratio M12's 5th and 6th were the best of both worlds. This is from my experience and I'm sure there are others who have different experiences.
Please see below for the factory specs and the specs of this transmission:
C5/M6 (Non Z06)---C5 Z06--------This Transmission
1st: 2.66----------1st: 2.97------1st: 2.66
2nd: 1.78----------2nd: 2.07-----2nd: 1.78
3rd: 1.30----------3rd: 1.43------3rd: 1.30
4th: 1.00----------4th: 1.00------4th: 1.00
5th: 0.74----------5th: 0.84------5th: .084
6th: 0.50----------6th: 0.56------6th: .056
RPM Transmissions charges $2895 with a usable T56 core. Purchasing without a T56 core adds an additional $750 bringing the total to $3645 plus shipping.
I am asking $2600 and you keep your current transmission. That's a savings of over $1000!
