I've talked to numerous tranny places and they say they are the same thing inside and out. D&D laughed when I said they were different. The LT1's don't break because they are only putting down 255 focking rwhp.

LOL That isn't the reason at all. The LS1 hydralics are the causes of the problems. For goodness sakes the viper uses a unit similar to the fbody T56 differences are minor and a viper has alot more go stock vs stock than a fbody.

Agreed; the "Tremec T56's suck" rumour needs laid to rest.

The fork release setup on the 93-97 f-bodies just flat out works good. The throwout on the LS1's doesn't. Without further detail, that's the jist of things
