Bringing this one back form the dead. Does anyone have any pics of the spray bar inside the trans? I'm not real clear on what is being used to spray fluid on the gears.

Nothing actually creating a "spray" other than the pressure of the fluid through the orifice. As long as the fluid is hitting the gears, there no need for anything more esoteric.

No I don't have any temps before or after. All I cared about was that the gear was always lubricated.
I guess this statement is what's getting me, sounds like it's more than just a hole and there's actually something inside directing fluid at a specific location.

As long as it directs oil into where the gears mesh, that's all it would ever need. Wouldnt need very much flow either.

I have said all I used is a bulkhead fitting with a tube angled between where the gears mesh. It's simple...nothing fancy.

I don't understand the tube in the bulkhead fitting part. Just somethiong like a large steel brake line? What holds it in the fitting?

All you need is to tap the NPT threads into the case and get a NPT-AN fitting.

If the hole doesn't direct towards the gear interface you might need to use a tube, but there's no reason to. (the C6 T56 factory cooler bung doesn't direct at the input shaft gear and may need redirected?)

Is there an internal oil pump that can be used to provide the supply for the jet ? Or must an external pump be used ?

External pump as discussed in this thread.

Only C6-T56s had internal pumps in their front plates, but unless you're running a torque-tube setup, you're basically SOL. TR6060s/Magnums started introducing the internal pumps more generally.

Cant see why -8 would be needed given the low volume of oil you'd be moving.

If anyone is looking for a complete unused setup for this stuff I have one just sitting here in the box. I just don't see it going on my car for awhile so no point in having it here. Pm me if interested .

thanks for this pic man.

Hows the lines going over the Ypipe been? Any trouble with heat? I have the lighter nylon hose so not looking to do that. Even with heat socks on the line over the exhaust. But that spot looks good for working on the car, you can do alot without removing the pump.


I'm looking form a good place to mount the pump (same tilton) Its bigger then the sts style little on speedrace used.
On the side of the trans I can get it away for the Exhust running it front to back along the trans (its not gona fit up/dpwn without being lower then my headers that hit) just a head of the fuel line were it jogs on the tunnel. But thats gona get it the way of bleeding the clutch a little. And it blocks the fill hole The other side is tight too, it would be close to the header. I kinda think I could mount it on the T56? Not sure about drilling 2-3 holes into it and tapping them. Or drilling a clearance hole in the webbing and nut/bolting the bracket on.


Do you set the fuild level with the pump on?

And -6 is fine, the tilton pump is pretty bad ***. I mocked it up and it will pull fluid UP a 3/8 hose a fast. I bet it will pull up a few feet, but dont think thats ever gona need to happen.

And just a 1/4NPT -6 fitting shoots fine, no need for a tube or nozzle. It will hit the other side of the case easy will the full .300 1/4 stream of oil. It would swirl used clean motor oil and a bucket when I mocked it up .
I think I took a video.

ya I did
