if you have a high HP car with a T56, get used to looking at **** like this:









This is the guts out of my last one.... finally took it appart since I had some spare time
input shaft/4th gear and the cluster have been destroyed as you can see... this has happened before a hand full of times.
sucks because the cluster is the most expensive part in the trans, $600 just for that piece lol.

I am going to fix this so I can put it into my 94, the TA is missing 3 gears now

 

can't you replace the syncros with straight cut gears so that does not happen any more ?

 

Ew, yeah I'm hoping mine doesn't chew anything up before I can get a th400 or 4l80 in it. What tranny is going back in yours 4l80e?

 

that looks like the input shaft and counter shaft decided to tear each other apart. I'm not sure if the straight cut synchros would help too much. His car is making big power.

 

welp mine looked like a $1500 bill to buy my friends t-56 and a $500 bill to Tick Performance..... haha

 

What were the circumstances when it happened? Any wheel hop or on a launch?

 

Solution to problem: TH400 or 4L80... problem with solution, more $$$ spent on another tranny

what number is this for you?

At 809 rwhp in this GTO with a six speed, we snapped the pinion gear off the nine inch at this years LSX Shootout on it's first launch.


We got it back together and broke the output shaft in the transmission. Rodney at RPM Transmissions replaced the 27 spline shaft with a 32 spline shaft. How long it will last is anyone's guess at this horsepower level. Bob

 

it has a TH400 now. THis failure was the last string for me.


rolling into it , not WOT, only at about 8 psi when it failed, ~800 rw. Was leisurely acellerating through the geears, it was no big deal. I was beside myself it broke like that, but it obviously had to have been damaged/weakened prior and just let go at that time.

spent the money on the 400 already, now just hope it holds

 

Where u on solid mounts when the t56 went? I know u been through alot of t56 But I cant understand is how the vipers t56 live and a upgraded t56 in a f boat wont.

 

they don't live in a viper they do the same thing and keep rebuilding them.....

 

Why didnt you put a 4l80e in it? Could have gotten one built for a great price from the guy that did MightyMouse and Cablebandit's cars.

 

Oh ok well maybe they dont talk as much about them going. Im trying to figure out how to keep a t56 in one pice thourh a number of vendors. Next spring my z should be around 1k to the wheels and I want to keep my six speed lol. What gears are u running in the rear?

 

how you liking the 400 T? should lay down some good runs at LMP for the 60-130 event. what rear gears you running?

 

that's the kind of event I would love to build a car for

 

Seems like every damn car in Houston is being built for these events. I need to workout my kinks and see what I can lay down at these events.

 

wow looks like it sliced it like butter. I hope it will hold 1000hp for awhile i didnt want to go auto but it may be in my future so it seems

 

He doesn't have to roll race anymore now that he has a real transmission.

 

Heck yea it does!

I'm plugging my ears and singing 'la la la la la'.

 

it has 3.08 gears. So far I like it alot except for on the hwy the rpms are annoying.

hell yea you do, hurry up and get rid of that shitty gate so you can have some fun!

LOL

Roll racing is unavoidable here in Houston. I can still race up to 180ish... lol
I do plan to hit the track more often now though... thats the reason I gave into the swap, want some good numbers.

LOL

you don't have to worry until you do a big power adder. 7-800 rw it will be fine
