Our Viper shaft will have longer splines to allow for machining to fit conversion units. There are a few other helpful modifications we've yet to release until a working sample is available for testing.

A 32 spline triple cone and non triple cone main shaft would be sweet as well.

We looked at die casting some stuff but that gets real expensive and the only way to average out the cost is to do a ton of the stuff. We're talking 10,000 pieces or so to get the pricing down to justify the cost.

Do you make Corvette input shafts with MM6 (2.66) 1st gear ratios?

We are working on it. We should have a working sample to test by the end of the summer. It will be based on our Viper spec LS input shaft that is currently available. Hopefully we'll have a 29 tooth 2.97 shaft later this year for testing as well.

Some Corvette T56 gears we are currently testing with a few undisclosed builders we supply parts to.

Do you think Tremec offers a warranty on their gears? If so, think again, especially if you rip the teeth off one and try to get another one for free.

I ordered some parts, was wondering if there is a way to track it. The only thing "my account" says is order received.Thanks

I got an aftermarket input shaft from Hawks and it worked but was very noisy ended up having my old one fixed and put it back in. I will not run any aftermarket hard parts in this t56 ever again

Sorry to hear that. I believe they sell the Korean made input shaft and we've heard a lot of complaints about it making noise.
