T56 why....
So I want a manual transmission behind my ls swap. That being said I was going to use a t5 till I found out the headache that was going to be. Soooo I am trying to find a t56 but its not going so good... Hawks wants 1500 for standalone and 2500 for the kit. I also found a guy who sells rebuilt ones for 2000 but he wants a core. I guess my question is where do I find one for cheaper? Ps: I have also called around to every single junkyard in 200 miles and none of them have one and im in tn

Check craiglists for a broken one. They're expensive because they're in high demand still.

You're probably not going to find one for cheaper unless it's blown up (MORE money) or you know someone in the salvage business. I sold mine in 24 hours for going rate and we didn't even haggle. Just FINDING a good used one is difficult enough because so many people are hard on these transmissions and they generally have issues at this point.
I personally know someone who has a good one (my brother in law) but it's because he just totalled his WS6 last week. He's only trying to sell the whole car, though.

Seems like the LS T56's are a lot more expensive and hard to find than the LT T56's. Is it at that point where it's cheaper to spend the $600 to convert an older LTx T56 to an LS spec one yet? And then you still need to get the bellhousing and hydros etc.

I have been looking but there are none. Anyone on here wants to sell one I have cash in hand.

Try the classified forums at LS1tech.com, that'll probably be your best bet. Those guys are always parting out fourthgens.
