Doing a build for 500 Rwhp or so. I just bought a car and it has 168,000 miles for tghis project. I want to get the tranny built because the rear is on the way as well as the motor build being in progress. What stage build would I need? And if I come up from Houston with the car could we do it there? What would the cost be? I am sure this trans will need something coming out of the car but as it sits now it shifts well. I know you won't know the core price until you get into it. Just curious mainly about the other info. Thanks.

If you have a friend who lives close to the border, it makes thing much easier to ship there so we wouldn't have to deal with customs. Then you'd just have to drive over and pick it up. About one out of every four seems to get held up in customs.

The triple cone rings were designed for smoother shifting and high RPM shifting. If you are shifting at 6500 or less then theres no point in going with them as the difference is minimal. When using this style of ring, you have to use the corresponding gear set that has the provision for these rings. The GTO T56, for example, already has this setup from the factory. When going with the lower gearing (2.97 first), triple cone is the only option while still retaining the transmission's strength. Hope this helps.
BTW I'm out of stock at the moment. We are building 3 units that are already sold and two more are in line waiting. So if you want to get added to the list, then give me a call. Even though the line is starting at 6th, etc, the waiting time will be about 7-10 business days.

For the rearend, it runs $650 total parts and labor for any ratio of GM gear and all bearings/seals, including the axle bearings/seals.
Give me a call for more info. Number is in the sig.

He is a great guy to deal with. I meat him up at his shop today and he gave me the honest truth about my tranny. I might not need a rebuild but I think I am going to still have him tear into it and do some upgrades.

ok, maybe a weird question, or maybe you got it before? What do you know of in the way of a lightweight performance manual transmission? Is t56 pretty much all there is to mess with on our cars, or is there some way to go to a lighter 5 spd tranny that is built, and would still have the same gear ratio in 5th as the t56 does in 6th. I know this isn't really where you were going w/this thread, but you seem to be very knowledgeable about transmissions, and our cars. Thank you!

Hey man,
I know its probably in this thread, but for my 2002 Z28 Id like to send it in possibly soon to swap out to maybe a stage 2...with the mods in my signature im thinking its about 460-480hp at the flywheel, and im really at a crossroads of what i want to do. it grinds going into 2nd gear now so i cant speed shift into 2nd anymore...if i take an extra 2 seconds on my shift from 1st into 2nd it wont grind(baby it into gear). im thinking synchro? anyways everything else works great in it...what do you think for a ball park price I would have to pay to swap it out and shipping would be from Rochester NY...thanks for all your help in advance man.
