Above all else, never put your location in your user profile.

And never use a qualified sponsor to build your trans.

I know for a fact they can go out on stock power. Really good friend of mine has his T56 replaced 4 times in less than 20,000 miles when it was new. Depends on alot of variables. I've destroyed mine 3 different times.

I have friends who make 1000whp on stock T56s. Will they all last at this power? No. Depends on what you are doing with it. If you are going to the track every weekend, then expect it not to live long.

if you are on a stock 10 bolt, Id worry about that before the trans.. I made 540whp and killed it all day long on the street.. put on a set of slicks and went through 2 rears.. replaced the clutch twice but trans held up fine.. was a dd too... like other said.. depends on what you do with it.. however, if you're replacing it as often as you are... find someone else to build it....

I read somewhere around 450 whp. If your having it worked on its a good idea to upgrade the internals while its apart but why are they saying that it needs to be done?

Sounds like maybe bad hydraulics or someone cant drive a stick. No good reason why a T56 goes out that often, especially under stock power.

It sounds to me like you have a clutch disengaugement problem or a failed pilot bearing. The synchros really have nothing to do with the power holding capacity of the transmission. The gearset itself, mainly the input and cluster gear are what take the brunt of the power. As long as it is well lubricated (IE: Direct input oil return/spray bar) will handle 700ftlbs fairly reliably.

If you are knocking the sliders and blocking rings out of the trans then you need to check for hydraulic issues or keep an eye on your driving style.
