Default Rebuild or Replace

The T56 in my GTO is in need of some loving. The synchro is trashed in 2nd, it pops out and is impossible to get into. 4th gear lets the lever move back but doesnt ever engage.

Now the question is do I have it rebuilt for 2200 with a performance rebuild, or do I spend 1000 or so and pick up a used T56.

Do the rebuilt ones make that much difference on a stock to 400rwhp car?

I'd go rebuild. I have my T56 rebuilt by TDP in Texas. Transmission is better than new. Love it. With a used T56 you won't know if you are getting a crapshoot or a goldmine.

Hey bud, we offer some of the best and most reliable rebuilds in the market!!! I wouldnt waste your money on buying a used one, your just looking for more problems. Go with a rebuild and you have pretty much a brand new trans in your car. I encourage you to check out our rebuilds, we have literally done thousands all over the US and even internationally.
