Well , apparently you don't think more casting ribs, thicker walls and greater bearing support count for much. A countershaft design transmission by nature is constantly pulling the cluster and mainshaft appart. Strength added to resist this is going to be part of any uplift of torque capacity.
So once again, our Custom Built T56-TR6060's are rated at over 800ft/lb torque...

Its been stated here before. The bigest bang is in the gear face width and the upgrade series bearings. But the fact remains, if you really care to look , that the front & rear flanges are thicker the rear case wall is thicker and the bearing supports are(in fact) beefed-up. The front adapter has significant added bearing support , ribs and wall thickness.
Ok so I won't prove my statements other than the known TR6060 uplift as well. It really doesn't matter what you think.

I've seen a lot of blown up T56's in the past. I'd say 99.9% of them with extreme gear failure were not due to the cases being insuffient. Its either a lack of oil to the gears, loose shimming allowing the gears to pull away from each other or just too much stress for the gear itself to handle.

question? the 3 piece syncros in a goat tranny are they any better than the 2 piece carbon ones? also what type of shim tolerance are you guys talking about when you say the shafts spread? is that a side by side deflection or in line space causing the gapping for to make the gears disengage?? i,m new at this and have a t56 to tweek but not the large cash because of our economy has hit my craft hard i need info to make an informed decision on the best way for 550 torque compatable t56 .. thank you folks in advance..... oldman

Eastcoast, I'm still not seeing it. Where, oh where, have you seen that the new t56 magnum ONLY handles 575-600 rwtq? Where have you seen that the internals of a t56 are "still the 1st gen" parts? Where are you getting all of this false competitive information you are using to bash Calhoon and other transmission manufacturers with?

Meal,
I post here to help peolple with trans Qs. I do not promote an ego to groom nor products to sell .Some just want to sell their mystery-messaged old T56 stuff. The Magnums are NOT old design anything. They are TR6060-based/ latest Tremec design . They are rated at 700lb-ft by Tremec. This is backed with testing/ validation NOT done in the hands of the end customer with fingers crossed.
Be careful here or your comments will be removed, like Keisler does. SO, don't confuse any one with the facts.

Customers want the truth, Not inflated numbers...They want REAL WORLD numbers and facts, they want to know what REALLY works in these cars...
So unless you have something productive to say in our for sale thread, stay out of it...period..Ive told yoou this before...
