Without posting non-sponsor products here can someone help me out?
I am in dire need a t56 rebuild kit. I found alot of parts online and found one company claiming to have all American made parts in one overhaul kit.
Will the parts listed below give me a nice solid transmission that is capible of handling 550+ hp/500+ lbs tq?
I am slowly learning what it takes to make a t56 strong and non-mushy (my biggest complaint for mine). I'm looking for anyone with experience with such parts. This companies website doesnt go into too much detail with the parts described.
Here is what is offered:
1st and 2nd three piece synchronizer rings
3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th carbon kevlar synchronizer rings
front and rear seals
Premium Timken Bearings Included:
all main shaft gear bearings
all main shaft bearings & races
all countershaft bearings & Races
input pocket bearing & race
shift fork pads
snap rings
spacers
thrust washers
front bearing preload shims
countershaft preload shims
synchronizer keys/struts
retaining springs
rear countersahft bearing oil funnel
shifter bushing

As you can see alot of the parts are a bit misleading as they dont list the material.

Those parts are the same for the most part in all the kits offered .

I take that as a good thing or are they pretty close to stock?

All of that stuff is 100% OEM stock parts . Its the same stuff used in all units . The only real difference between a stock T56 and a "built" T56 is upgrading the 3-4 shift fork , upgrading the shift fork pads to bronze and installing billet shift keys . These parts are no stronger than stock when it comes to horsepower . They simple can take more abuse from power shifting your cars . Now when you upgrade the input shaft or output shaft to Viper spec parts , you wil gain added strenght in the unit in those two areas . Everything else remains the same .

Thanks for the info.

Are there any companies out there that wont charge an arm and leg to upgrade to only what i need?

That same place you found that master overhaul kit sells the billet keys, bronze fork pads, steel 3-4 shift fork. For those of us that wish to rebuild our own trans, I wish Tick performance listed parts on there website like six speedinc used to. I would much rather order from a sponsor,

Ditto. Would love to get a group deal.
Still saving myself $500-$900 for getting everthing installed by a friend that does transmissions.
Ordered all this. best to get everything replaced now rather than down the road.

They will take out all duplicated items and credit you back like $13 (cheap OEM keys and fork pads).
Shipping will be priority mail

Yea thats the smart way to do it unlike me. Rebuilt it the first time with bronze on 3-4 fork and had to take it back apart a year later for breaking fork pads on 5-6...I would put bronze on all forks

Done.

I saw these new shifter bushings for sale. Would love to have feedback on them when you get it all together and broken in.

Have the rebuilt trans in the car and it feels great. Everything is very tight and smooth shifting. You can feel how well built the tranny is...as you shift or just drop gears you get the sense of not breaking it. A buddy did the !drill mod for me and I install and Monster stage 3 clutch as well. I am still using the stock shifter with a UMI shift stick. The shift stick takes a little getting used to if you install it at an angle. Where 1st and 2nd used to be are now 3rd and 4th. 3rd and 4th are now 5th and 6th. Dropping from 1st to 2nd with the stick so close to the stearing wheel is ever so easy.
The clutch is very streatable with an MS4 cam.
I absolutely love the setup. Couldn't be happier.
I'll upload some pics of the clutch install and coated tranny when i get a min.
P.S. I had a friend of a friend do the transmission. He is located in Las Cruces NM. Excellent work!

You should look into another short stick. One that has a spacer to re-center it and it will be just as before. I got mine on Ebay for like $20 and it works like a charm. Also UMI make a stick that is off centered to take care of this problem.
