When I talked to Amber @ sixspeeds about doing my faceplating, she said joe welds the rings on, then clearances the liberty shift slider whereas liberty grinds the welds for clearance and this takes away from the integrity of the weld. When I got all my stuff back from them (sixspeeds) I test fit everything and had to hone the gear bores for clearance since welding the rings on shrinks the bores AND I chucked the sliders in the lathe to clearance them for the welds on the gear rings on 3rd/4th. I think I was one of the last people to get my trans back from them BTW before everything blew up with their business and I wasnt too upset having to do the fit work myself....especially in hindsight.

Yeah looking at the welds on mine I am slightly disappointed. In hindsight this is the last faceplated trans I own. I am suprised no one makes a new gear out of better material with the faceplated lugs already made instead of machining syncro teeth off then welding lug on the grinding and polishing and honing etc. What amazes me is they talk about making wider gears on the magnums etc and redesign the key mechanism but still make the syncro teeth tiny isnt that the most important part?
I really want to see a magnum out of a high horsepower car and see what is torn up in it.

IMO, the most important part is the cone being able to grip and speed match the gear. Once this happens, tooth size would seem secondary to me. I'm getting ready to change over to a T-6060 with a conversion tailshaft from a 2010 Camaro. I'd like to know which fluids have the best friction modifiers to help the blocker assembly do its job. Maybe something like B&M Tric Shift would work good?

If anyone needs more power handling capability than what is offered by the stock gears, you can always contact Keisler. They are the exclusive importers of PPGears from Australia.

The PPG gear set also offers the advantage of a closer ratio gear set. They may even have the wide-ratio gear set available as well.

Hey guys installing my new liberty box today and wondering what fluid everyone is using? Can't find any info searching, i guess i will start out with dexron 3 but kinda think something a tad thicker would be better?

RPM is faceplating my t56 with liberty gears. When they took mine apart, it had some heat damage. It was a stock gear, and shaft type rebuild for sixspeedinc. with keys,fork, the normal stuff. I had ran mobile 1 ATF, and penzoil sycromesh. I didn't like how notchy the sycromesh was until the trans was hot, when it was cooler out here in NY. Jermery told me it could be from the ATF, and I shouldn't run it anymore. And that not to use RP was a BS. But he said the RP sycomax was good stuff.

Ok guys i just got off the phone with Liberty and they state to run either striaght 40 wt engine oil or redline light shockproof. They want a little more cusion then what dex 3 can offer. He also stated that it does't make any difference between synthetic or conventional for the 40wt. And that synthetic is just more prone to leak.
So far i have run 4 event with this trans and is amazing always goes in gear no ?'s asked. I accidentally even put it in first when trying to grab third. Thing is beast love it.
