Stronger t56 I'm rebuilding my T56 and need to know what the weak point of the trans will be when launching. I'm gonna be running 315 drag radials. I plan on doing brass **** fork pads, and Billet keys. What else do you guys recommend.
Complete rebuild kit with new seals, bearings, carbon blocker rings, new synchros, billet keys, bronze fork pads, and a steel 3/4 shift fork. You probably want to install a 30/31 spline output shaft at that point too!
Unless you are doing the work yourself you won't be far away from the price of a new T56 Magnum transmission.

ok thats the 2nd to worst looking one 5th is a little worse but its going in a drag car that may get driven on the street rarely but i probably wont use 5th much it had grinding problems in 3 and 4th and 5th wouldnt go into gear but all the shift fork pads were missing and the syncro detents were almost all broken i think that was the problem. also 3 pieces were chipped off the 5-6 gear cluster im thinking about running it i dont plan on doing pulls past 4th the only time ill use 5th is if im out cruising and ill just take it easy or use 6th
