Default Viper T-56

Does anyone know where I can locate a Viper T-56?

Thanks.

I believe they're the same as what we have. The only difference is the master/slave setup. The GM style is lacking to say the least and causes our failures. If I'm mistaken on this, please correct me.

Actually the Viper spec T-56 has a different alloy for the first and second gearset. Also, I believe the input shaft is different...

Input shaft is different and the 3-4 shift fork is steel vs aluminum.

That and the stamping on the housing is the ONLY difference.

The gears and all of that are the same material, nothing different.

The case itself has different/stronger ribbing as well to prevent case flex under high torque conditions.
Cheers,

also the viper output shaft is larger in diameter, and therefore much stronger than ours. thats the main advantage f-bodys need. supposedly D&D is going to have a kit available this summer to swap a Viper output shaft into an F-body T56.

I talked to one of the guys at D&D Performance (out of MI) a couple weeks ago (blew out 3rd gear syncro for the 4th time). The Viper T-56 is the same as ours - except as said above. They are now putting out better syncros for the T-56 made out of Kevlar. A new rebuild kit will be ordered soon. Hoping this will help. There is no such thing as a bullet proof tranny.
