I sell them for $50 plus $5.00 for UPS ground shipping. You would not have to purchase anything else unless you wanted billet keys.

Thanks,
Joe

what would the billet keys do for me?

The stock Keys break off when you power shift or are abusive to the car. The billet keys help eliminate the breakage problem. For the cost it is well worth the insurance. I put them in all of my 3-4 sliders and 5-6 sliders.

The only different fork in the Viper is the 3/4 . It is iron vs aluminum. There will soon be a forged 5/6 fork available for the road race guys.

The 5-6 is already steel.
After you replace the 3-4 shift for the only one left thats aluminum is the 1-2
out of the 100 or so T-56s I have rebuilt I have yet to see a Bent or Broken 3-4 But I always suggest a steel one.
I have how ever seen at least 2 Broken 1-2 shift forks.

The billet Keys are a good Idea.
Seen many of them Break on the 3-4
And just this weekend say my first one broke on the 5-6.
This all in an 04 GTO tranny.

1-2 and 3-4 were replaced on mine when i somehow fused 6th gear to the mainshaft. It was stuck in 5th gear and i broke 3-4 when prying it out.
pretty wicked carnage.

What people call a bent 3/4 fork is actually an enlarging of the shift rail hole. It acts just like a bent fork, allowing the fork too much mmovement as installed.
The 5/6 fork is actually iron. Its flaw is a narowed section in one tine that is there for assembly ease. The fork I mentioned is steel and it will be forged. It will also have a significant cross-section gain ( both material and design improvements)

I hear what you're saying
I still haven't seen a Bent of wore out one.
But I have only done around 100 rebuilds over the last 3 or 4 years.
I can also see where that 5-6 fork could be made stronger.
For drag racers its not needed. But road racing maybe.
those two over drives are really designed for that kind of abuse IMO.
I think it would be a good Idea to get a Synchro assemble like the one in the vette or GTO in there that has the Dual Frictions to help .
in a race , even a road race. What Kinda speeds we talkin about
An Fbody does what? 130 + MPH in 4th?

Not with 4.10s (unless you have a built motor that can scream to 8 grand and still make power or really tall tires)! I'm into the rev limiter going through the traps at 111-112 mph with 275/40 17 DRs in 4th w/4.10s.
