Started having issues with the T56 not going into 5th and 6th only, called liberty they blamed disengagement which I know is not the issues..
Sent back and they said I showed a big TIP Load on the input shaft likely from Bell alignment..
The Mcload bell housings are all supposed to be pre checked and do not need verified - and before anyone calls me stupid - You can not check without tearing into trans due to bell being fully open on trans side.. So liberty sends back the faceplate of trans - I find that it was sitting .027 low and Squarness was about .020 off as well also driving input shaft down even farther!

I have fixed squarness and awaiting offset dowls to fix off center, removing the SHP dowels were horrible to remove - one I could access from front of motor and had to hoss on with a 2lb sledge for several minutes - the other was not so easy - drilled several holes through (and even drilling into block - awesome) still unable to budge with huge channel locks - Had to weld a bolt to my slide hammer then into dowel to finally get..

Not sure if it is the SHP block or McLoad bell that caused the issues, I am assuming the bell - It in turn cracks input shaft tube and ruined bearing - not sure what else at this point - 1st through 4th still felt great.. Also while tearing apart found balancer sheared the key - More awesome!

 

welcome to having a FAST t56 car...not that i know much about it, lol. good luck with it dude, hope the upgrades fix it and you don't have many more issues.

 

With any performance bell you need to check it for squarness and runout !
I have even found the factory stuff can be off a bit. Best to check them all really!

 

That sucks man, but yep, fast T56 cars I hear are a pita to deal with.

 

Yeah it kinda is. Should be ok after this I think, hope the 12 bolt holds up though...

TT350: true. But like I said mcload says no need and trans needed to be apart to check being bell is wide open w no referance points.
Will not make that mistake again! But even trying to use the flat trans mounting surface to check square. That thing had .010 with just a one one inch move of dial.

While back at liberty upgrading to 30 spline output to keep that out of back of my mind

 

^ and the shrapnel from the little yoke out of your butt cheek........lol
