Re: T56 Trans from 1994 Trans-Am

Right now I was just thinking about the trans, let me see what we can part with. Yes, I can ship. There is a Roadway near me.

Re: Need info on Dana 44

Why sell it? Plenty of parts available for it and with forged axles pretty much impossible to break unless you are putting a rocket engine in it!

You don't cut springs, this changes the rate as well as lowering. I have not heard of this ending well. Just go to someone like Stranoparts.com and get the proper rate and height springs.
