Re: t56?

The tailshafts of the trannies and the shifter location is different. You want the t56 from a F-body. GTO tranny isnt gonna fit without shifter and tailshaft swap.

The f-body t56 is a direct bolt on on the LS2.

Re: t56?

I wanted to know what the real diff is... I hear gear ratio...

now as it Looks (key word looks) the gto one has the provitions for the torque arm just like the f-body one.

the shifter is well just the shifter. an f-body one would bolt in place since the offset is in the gto shifter base it's self

I thought the coupler came off some how??... well flame away
