Default 2005 gto t56

I searched and couldn't find much. I am doing an ls1 into a 1st gen camaro and I have an oppurtunity to get a brand new t56 out of a gto. To be honest I do not know much about the new gto's. Does anybody have experience with these trans? Are the dimensions the same as an f body t56? Does it have the same tailshft as the fbody t56? any help will be appreciated

I'm pretty sure that it's the same tranny but with a different gearset. It has the MN12 (Z06) gears. Some people like the ratios better than the MN6, some don't. Honestly, they're not that different. I've never noticed a difference in my two cars. (Then again, there are bigger differences between the two than just the transmission gearing... ) If you can get it for a decent price, I see no problem with the GTO tranny vs an F-body one. You will need a new shifter though. The stock GTO one stinks.


MN6
1st 2.66
2nd 1.78
3rd 1.30
4th 1.0
5th .74
6th .50
Rev. 2.9

MN12
1st 2.97
2nd 2.07
3rd 1.43
4th 1.0
5th .84
6th .56
Rev. 3.28

thanks, I thought that it had the same ratios as the z06. Also, I did some more searching and I found a pic of one and it looks like there is a fixed yoke on the Gto trans. Is this the true or am I missing somthing?

I'm not really sure. I haven't been under mine yet to really check it out. I just hit 3k miles yesterday.
