I have a tranny that needs to be rebuilt. 3rd geear syncro is burnt and maybe has a bent 3-4 fork. I want new syncros, carbon blockers, and steel fork... what else? Would $250 cover the labor? What have you guys paid? Any advise? Big thanks!

 

See my response in this thread for parts and labor costs.

friendof mine got his rebuilt for $300. he supply parts and bring them the tranny

 

Thanks for all the pricing info. Are the billet keys worth the money? This car is not my daily driver, but I do give it hell on certain weekends. I go to the track about 4 times a year. I don't have the power level to need the hardened input or output shafts yet. I have to do the whole exhaust at the same time so money is on my mind.

 

The 3-4 billet keys are a good idea. This is a common failure on the T56. G-Force has them for 75. D&D is 99. I have not heard of many people breaking the stamped 1-2, so your probably ok there. New 1-2 keys will come as part of the basic rebuild kit.
Personally I think that the upgraded output and input shafts are a bit of overkill until you get into the really crazy horsepower levels. Taner is still running a stock input/output shaft F-body T56.

I am also a bit sceptical of all these "Viper Internals" that folks are paying for. I would want to know EXACTLY what is included is this upgrade. Just telling me that a tranny has Viper internals tells me nothing. I know of and understand the 30 spline output shaft upgrade, but I doubt that is what these people are getting when the go the "Viper Internals" route.

Ooops. that was a bit of going off on a tanget.

 

Madss- pretty good feed back... glad you looking in on the post. I have a lil' more insight (stamped is fine for 1-2 and billit 3-4 is a good upgrade) so when I speak to the shop they will know not to take me for a ride. I'm hesitant to send this out of state because I can use the freight charges to put into the parts and labor. I found a place local (Southern Gear)that said it would be $250 for a standard build. Hopefully nothing major is wrong.

 

It looks like Southern Gear is a distributor of Tremec. Sounds like a good place. When I was looking for someone in FL to do a rebuild for me I called the Tremec District rep and got a recommendation from him on a compatent shop. He gave me a good steer.

 

Not to hyjack the thread or anything, I just got a ridiculous quote on a rebuild and was wondering how much a new trans would cost to just buy one.

 

$2000 for a bone stock t-56 from D&D in Michigan.

 

A brand spankin new F-body T56 from sdpc (sponsor ====>) is 2600. Unless it's for a vette and it jumps to 6400

Take a look at some of the reputable builders on one of their completed rebuilds. (www.ddperformance.com among others) The D&D is still in the 2600 range but has already been upgraded.
