Default T56 is dead.

I'm not paying $1451 to "ManTrans" here in tally for me to take it out and reinstall it. Who's the authority on complete built T56's? Already checked out Tick Performance, was just curious if there are others out there im missing.

probably needs to hold 700rwhp/700ft-lbs.

Tick, Finish Line Trans, and RPM Transmissions (Exotic Performance Plus carries them) has built T56s. There may be more vendors that build em, but those are the ones i remember off the top of my head.

We're running a Level V T56 with all the upgrades from RPM Transmissions, and love it! Customer service has been incredible, and in the 3 years weve had the trans, its been in 2 different cars without a single issue.
