Clutch master cylinder w/ line $160

I don't have a steady supply for the parts listed below, but sometimes I'll run across them and keep them in stock for conversions.

1) Clutch pedal assembly (gas, brake, clutch pedals all on one bracket) - Normally goes for $50-75
2) Shifter
3) Crossmember
4) Tranny and TQ arm mounts and bracket
5) Shifter boots (upper and lower)

Currently, I have a brand new lower shifter boot for $30 & a factory Hurst shifter (OEM for the SS/WS6 cars) for $60. Also have a few stock shifters for free, but who wants stock? lol

So right now, I could sell you a T56, used bellhousing, Diamond Clutch kit w/ fly and slave cyl, master cyl w/ hydraulic line, factory Hurst shifter and shifter boot all for about $2850

I have a T56 out of a 99 camaro and was wondering is it possible for you to move the shifter forward to the front location? It has about 108,xxx miles on it with nothing wrong with it, but I was thinking of having it rebuilt to handle the power of my motor build in the future. Its for an old musclecar swap and the shifter is too far back.

when I allocate the funds I need to be all over this, sounds like a solid build, how much would shipping run to the Georgia area?

Would the t56 that you sell outright for 1800 be considered your stage 2 package?

That's no problem. There is only one good kit for this that I know of, and I think its around $400. It's been awhile since I've done one, so I'm not sure if that price is still accurate.
It's always a good idea to go thru the tranny. I've seen plenty of T56 with nothing wrong, but actually have several issues in the works.

Shipping is about $85-95 each way to either place.

Yes, that's the Stage 2 build. The prices actually vary depending on a few factors. Most LS1 T56 trannys that I sell are now $1900. It's been really hard to even keep them on the shelf, plus the parts keep getting more expensive. Yesterday we finished building one, and had 2 sold

Would you sell what's needed for the triple cone syncro conversion for a 4th gen by itself, like just the parts needed for the conversion? If so, can you let me know how much that would be? Thanks!

It's really not that simple. Everything has to be changed in order to do the conversion. Basically I just swap all the internals with a Vette or GTO T56, so the $300 price is on an exchange basis. Then the mainshaft has to be shortened or swapped with a GTO shaft.
Your best bet would be to buy a GTO T56 if you can find one. This way, you already have the triple cone setup, but it has the lower gear ratio (2.97, 2.07, 1.43, 1.00, 0.80, 0.62). Or, you could buy any C5 Vette T56 as a donor trans. This way you could stay with the stock gear ratios.

Default Thanks!!!

Just wanted to thank everyone who has done business with us. I had an overwhelming response to this and we literally can't hardly build them fast enough to keep up...lol I still have one order to fill, and after that I'm out of cases to build any more. Time to buy some more cores. Thanks again everyone !

Now I have a list with 5 people waiting, but please call or PM your info to me and I'll add you. I'm picking up a wrecked car today mainly so I can pull the T56 out and build it..lol. Then I'm picking up another 2 core this week, so hopefully I can fill all the orders. Anyway, you might as well get on the list.

Since you take trades on trannys would you take a trade on a C4 Corvette ZF S6-40 6-speed transmission w/ 46,000 original miles on it for a built T56? It has the shifter and magnesium bellhousing and slave and everything(no clutch) with it. If so about how much would that run for a complete swap to swap in an old musclecar? I bought it years ago for a streetrod project that never got finished. Thanks for your time

Default Update

We just got a handful of cores in stock, so we'll be able to supply everyone who is waiting for a unit! After that, we'll be looking for cores again. Thanks again for all the business! The fresh T56's will be available some time next week, as we are moving to a bigger shop next door this week.

I'm sorry but I don't touch those trannys. The parts prices are so high that it's not possible to cost-effectively build one of these trannys. The only route is to exchange for a reman'ed unit for around $1500. Just the bearing kit is $750 for 5 bearings. I can not give any credit for these units unfortunately. Give me a call to place an order.

I have an lt1 t56 right now that was recently rebuilt ~20k miles ago but needs a 2nd gear blocker. How much would that cost along with a conversion to the ls1 style t56? I know for sure I need the blocker replaced but am also hoping to go ls1 with the car so prices for both would be great if you could. Thanks!

For what its worth I had Jason rebuild my T56 a while back he said it would take about two to three days. Not even 24 hours later I got a call and picked it up that evening, he even stayed open late to wait on me. Before I left hid shop I had one of his Diamond clutches in my trunk also. This guy knows his **** and will do you right. Thanks Jason.
