Im not talking faceplated or performance upgrades. Does anyone have experience with, what I assume to be, overseas manufactured replacement gears for T56s? They seem to be offered through a variety of vendors, yet I don't see anyone talking about them. The Tremec stuff keeps going up in price.

 

You're fixing to see even more stuff coming online in the next 60 days.

 

Because the T56 was a mass production trans its more common to do core exchanges for stock to stock. That comes out the best deal because of the warranty and they usually claim to have been refreshed.

Anything modified is a different game. The more you modify, the more headaches come with it. You might have to buy the refreshed T56, pull both apart, swap hard parts, then send one back.

 

Lets simplify this

Built trans, need an input shaft and cluster gear replacement.

Aftermarket gears: actual product within OE specs for gear tooth profile and hardness, or complete garbage?

 

I'm running one of the korea input shafts...seems to be fine, a little noisy maybe, but had I been able to find an OEM or an option from AMP I would have avoided it. My 2nd gear came from AMP and it's been problem free.

Here you go

 

Thanks. At least one person understood the question!

 

The stuff AMP-D is putting out is pretty good quality though. We did have to do some filing on my input shaft to get a better fit, but the 2nd gear I got from AMP dropped right in with the other Tremec stuff I bought. Luckily I didn't need a cluster gear

 

Our input shafts are spot on. The Korean stuff is hit or miss from what I've heard. We going to have a complete line of Viper spec input shafts in about 2 weeks. We're also doing a 30 spline output shaft, a C5/C6/GTO 2nd gear in both 2.66 and 2.97 ratio along with a 3rd for the 2.97 C5/C6/GTO and a 58 tooth C5/GTO/C6 5th gear in both 1 piece and 2 piece cluster gear design.

 

Left is our brand new Viper spec input shaft with longer splines for twin disc applications and a increased shaft similar to the TR6060 and Viper T56.

Right is a stock Ls1 T56 input shaft.

 

Link to website, PM me if you need to

 

Are you guys doing new cluster gears as well?

 

We're working on a 2.66 gear. Hopefully we will have it in 2 configurations.

1) 2 piece design for pump or without pump
2) 1 piece design for pump or without pump

Looking like Summer of 2016 before we will have them available for retail purchase.

 

If you need a beta tester for initial parts I may be interested, depending upon when I tear into my transmission. Not looking for free stuff by any means. Ill be putting 24psi of a 76mm through a forged 5.3 in a 3500lb car.

 

We will keep it in mind. You can follow updates via www.Facebook.com/AMPDistributing

 

Will Amp-D start making outer synchro sleeves (Sliders) for the T56 any time soon?

I hate buying assemblies, where the original hub is in great shape, only to pull and replace the stamped keys with billet ones.

 

At the moment, we only offer synchronizer sleeves with hubs without keys and springs for the non Corvette/GTO type units. The main reason for that is to ensure proper engagement and reduce the likelihood of any issues mixing parts.

 

We have F body 27 spline stock replacement output shafts available if anyone needs them. Working on Viper shafts along with a C5 replacement shaft as well.

 

These need a larger than stock 5th gear press-fit journal.

 

Viper shafts need longer splines for the slip yoke too
