G-force makes the only domestic gearset that is available for the T56. Here is another option from Australia:

I am actually thinking about having Liberty convert a new T56 Magnum to a faceplated design.

This is kind of an odd question, but i havent been in a t56 for a long time and its realted to the thread. Can you run a faceplated gear say in just a couple gears? Like just 3rd or just 2&3? Just wondering, as 3rd really seems to be the only sychro/shifting problem for me. No sense in killing all driveability, can always go 1-4 on the street easy enough

I had asked Amber @ six speeds about the possibility of half a slider face plated such as a syncro'd 1st and a faceplated 2nd when they did the gears for my trans but Liberty either hasnt or cant mfg a slider to work in this manner. The only options for now is to do both gears that are paired on a synchro assm. such as 1&2 or 3&4. If I had to pick a set to do on a trans that saw track use, I'd personally do 3&4. From personal experience and from what I've read here and from talking with others, 4th seems to take a good beating and gets the teeth ruined quicker than 2nd and 1st. Maybe a sponsor could chime in and verify if this is what they're seeing. Is it the smaller dia. synchro assem. of 3&4? Is it because theres bearing slop between the output shaft and the input shaft (which happens to also be 4th gear)? Do the 1st and 2nd just last longer because of the larger dia. of the assem.? Or are they seeing no difference in wear?

If you don't plan to shift above 7,000 rpms or make stupid amounts of power don't faceplate it at all....just buy one of our masters and it will shift just fine.

I had my 1st-4th gears faceplated and bought a viper output early 08. QUOTE]
yeah, that was about a year ago. OK. Just when you posted, it kind of seemed like you talked to her recently, and I was like hmmmmmmmmm
