I almost bought the same trans but there was a bit of hiccup...there was a 1" difference between the input shaft length on my 98 ls1 T56 and the one you have pictured. The sleeve around the input shaft also kinda give it away.

iirc, that trans in the pics is out of LT1 setup (94-97). the Bell housing may have also been different...but again, this is from memory.

thanks for the reply guys i just measured the input shaft and it measures 7 in from the mid plate to the tip of the input shaft couldn't really find any info on how long the input shaft for a ls1 is but i found that lt1 shafts are 5.5 in so I'm super confused on what the hell i have here lol

What's going on with that input shaft? Looks like some sort of sleeve?

Bearing. Blow up the pics. It's test-installed on the pilot end, instead of in the crank.
