6 speed isolator cup???
6 speed isolator cup??? i hear you can just get the cup from a ford dealership, is this true? if so do you have a part number?? gm wants to sell me the whole shifter ***. for $67. second question: the factory one looks like it was glued in, does this need to be glued in??? and what to glue it in with???
while i'm askin questions, my shifter was rubbing the console and it wore through both rubber boots, does anyone else have this prob??? i don't think the trans mount is bad, but i haven't checked it out yet. i'm sure the console was on correct, anyone have any ideas???

The same cup is a loose part in the T5 and can be had by both GM and Ford dealers. The T56 requires this to be epoxied in place( why it is only sold as an assembly for the T56).
Yes, it must be epoxied. Be careful and full clean the old stuff out( without dropping it in the trans) and use a 3m scotchweld 2-part epoxy. Be sure it ( the socket ( actually called a tiz bushing) is seated fully . I forget the set time but its in the 8-12 hour range. Did you get a socket/bushing yet?
i just ordered the damn assembly, from gmpartsdirect.com they had the thing for like $35, i ordered a new boot while i was at it.......so i'm just waitin on it to get here. is there anything else to changin the assembly besides knocking out the roll pin??? anything i should be careful of???
do you know why it needs to be epoxied ? just curious. thanks for your help

I got one from Thunder racing and they told me they have installed and sold hundreds of them and never epoxied them. When I did mine I didnt' epoxy it and haven't had any trouble at all with it.

You can get just the cup from the dealership. You don't need to epoxy them. The replacment is actually not plastic. It's almost like a phenolic material. If you're getting the white plasitc cup, then that's why you need to keep replacing it.
No, the original /factory cup is an engineered plastic (peak) it is not a phenolic and it comes in a sort of brownish tan color . After some heat/ use it tuns darker brown. Again, it must be glued.

FWIW, I don't know if you *need* to glue it, but I have never done so and I have never had a problem.
