Attn T56 builders Hey guys, Im in need of some assistance. I am going to replace my input shaft seal Part number 15635337 and never have taken a t56 apart before. I have the kentmore "j tool" to install the seal. Please bare with me as i try to explain my questions to the best of my ability, with the assistance from this pic i took.
OK, i notice there are some bolts (red) holding what looks like a plate (yellow) to the t56. When i remove the plate, what should i expect to see? Does this plate use a gasket? If so, is there a P/N for it? What are the TQ specs for the bolts?
Thats all for now. Thanks

Actually, you can set the trans. vertically with the front up and remove the bolts. The input shaft, cluster gear and shift rails will all be standing up vertically. As long as you can get everything lined back up you should be ok.
Myself, I would just disassemble it the normal way starting with the extension housing.
Use a gasket maker to reseal the case.

Yep, follow the service manual. The tranny case uses RTV only, no gaskets. It won't be to bad if your just replacing the input seal. I would recommend taking some pictures of the tranny as you take it apart so you know you get things back together right
