I think it was starting to grind when I pulled it out and swapped it, but now Im looking into rebuilding it and putting it back into my car.

Long story short, I did a clutch in my car, and I had a t56 i got off of ebay that was supposedly rebuilt with all new internals. it was nice and painted black, and my old firebird needed a 6speed so I got it. I put about 200 miles on it, and i crashed the damn thing (fell asleep blahblah)

anyway, I saved that transmission, and when I put my stage 2 clutch in my car, i thought what the hell, ill put this new trans in while im at it.


OK. So I want to know, what do you guys recommend to replace while I have this thing torn apart? synchros and what else? Is there like a decent rebuild kit that gives me all I need?

THANKS!

 

Well, I would upgrade (we have all the parts you need) shift keys, fork pads, 3/4 fork, blocking rings, new seals and new 1/2 and 3/4 syncrho's.

Check out my sig below, or PM me, or email/call.

Thanks

 

PM me a quote on that stuff

 

Did the seller list what was rebuilt/replaced in the unit when you bought it? If it only has 200mi on it, it's unlikely to need much. A clutch or hyd issue could have caused the grinding to start, doesn't really warrant a trans rebuilt unless I'm missing something...

 

Which trans are you rebuilding? One with the 105K miles or the new one?

 

the one with 105k miles.

the trans in the car right now had 200 miles when i put it in.

 

With that kind of mileage, I would replace ALL the bearings along with the rebuild kit (Tick Stage II comes to mind). You'll know what you would need once you open up the trans.
