May as well swap out the shifter bushings while your at it, the cs bushings are much firmer than the oe ones. The more solid the bushings in that assembly the better, and for 25 bucks what can you lose.

Awesome! thank you! do you know anything about syncro mesh vs dex atf?

Dmax/04V

I heard of a lot of people running a lot of different things in these trans. I can't make a reccomendation on trans fluid, but i will say stay away from dexron 5 or 6 atf's. Dex 5 is standard gm auto trans oil and it's know for not being very good. Dex 6 is what I run in my 2500's allison trans and dex six gets hot fast, had to bumb the fluid capacity on my allison to 18 quarts to keep it at a decent temp. Someone else may know more about fluid than I do, from my experience in the diesel racing world I would say look at amsoil.

thank you, i have not had 1 single issue since i started putting it in second before i put it in first....i might just try getting a real good trans fluid change and go from there...

The ctsv requires dextron 3 atf fluid. Amsoil torque drive is a popular option. I would read ctsv faq if I were you. Lots of good overall info.

i have that in it now, but i see a lot people running synchromesh with good success..

T-56 was designed to use atf not syncromesh fluid...... the fiber blocker rings to be specific need atf to work and live properly.....On the other hand many people seem to like synchromesh.

There is a fair amount of debate on whether syncromesh is an acceptable alternative..

Dmax/04V

Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought that was an issue that became mute after tremec started making the T56. More of a borg warner T56 issue. Swapping the trans fluid should be done as a maintenance item, not a problem solution.

my trans builder said it's best to use a synthetic blend in the Tremec T56's

Be sure to get the delrin bushings for the shifter while you are in there as well as the creative steel shifter rod bushings, if no one mentioned it.

Can anyone tell me if a clutch, flywheel, and pressure plate out of a 6.2 Camaro will fit my 2004 LS6 CTS V and if so, are any modifications needed?

^^ I could be wrong, but doesn't the 6.2L camaro use the LS7 clutch?
I believe it's a 6-bolt flywheel too. Not sure though.
If both above are true, then yes, it should work.

Badbart

I don't know. Maybe someone could answer that. I have a clutch, flywheel and pressure plate that I was told came off an LS6 crate motor, but the number on the flywheel(according to a Chevy dealer)comes back to a Camaro SS 6 speed. The number is laser etched on the flywheel. It's GM 24 240 678. If anyone can cross this # and tell me what I have I would appreciate it.

Badbart

Anyone?

I also found a number on the disc. 922 3223
The pressure plate has LUK stamped on it. but the part number is preceded with GM so I'm guessing this is who manufactures it for GM?

OK, I took the cluch assy I have to the dealer today. The part numbers show it will fit the 2010 and up Camaro 6.2 LSA and also the 2008 and up CTS V with the 6.2 LSA. The part number for my 04 CTS V has a different number. Does anyone know if or why it would not fit the 5.7 LS6? I wonder if the 08 CTS V and the 10 and up Camaro have the dual mass flywheel or is it exclusive to the 04-07 CTS V? Can any of you transmission guys answer this question?
A tech at the dealer said he didn't know without having the two clutches side by side to compare them. I'm trying to see if I can use this clutch or if I need to sell it and get an LS7 clutch to replace the Fidanza that's in it now. Any suggestions?

Post some pics. If it is a 6 bolt flywheel it should fit. And I still think it is the LS7 clutch.
