Default can i rebuild my t56?

hey guys my tranny has been giving me a few problems lately. wont downshift into 2nd and sometimes pops out of 4th gear when im driving. i was wondering what parts i should replace, who should i get them from, and could i do it myself. i have pretty good experience with mechanics and have already dropped my tranny before to do a clutch change. any input thanks?

Go with Six speed inc. they are great. I am just about finished installing the 1a rebuild kit. I would call and talk to amber she is very helpful and can tell you exactly what you need. If you have common sense you can rebuild the tranny, it is really easy, this was my first time, and some people make it out to be harder than it really is. Just take your time and lay the parts out in the order they come off.

These tranny's are surprisingly easy... just make sure you get a decent walkthrough to look at while you're doing it. I think I just did it with a break down diagram of it.

If you don't change bearings you should be fine with the end play from the factory. Give me a call today if you get a chance. I leave at noon on fridays. You can always send me a pm if you can't get to a phone.

You should be fine with the 1A kit, i think it holds up to 700hp. The search tool is your friend for finding rebuild write ups. Here are a couple

The 1A should work. You can always order all of your parts seperate if you like.
