After a month the aftermarket T56 has came in. had it sent directly to the shop..here are some pics..


and the stock shifter that comes with it...


and the tranny itself


I cant wait til I put it in....lol

 

Get a Pro 5.0 shifter.

 

very nice N8

cant wait till it goes in

 

i would have to 2nd the Pro 5.0

 

i purdy good with my stock T5 shifter...ask TURBOXT.

im prolly goin to stick with the stock shifter for now...and the gates are even closer than my t5.

 

OK..how much and where did ya get it??I need to order one today.

 

looks great!! goos luck with the conversion!

 

2455.00 was the total. got it thru Spohn.net. I didnt want to go with a 4th gen tranny cause i didnt want to change alot of stuff around. i want to keep as much stock parts as i can.

shop is goin to install it for round 400 if everything goes as planned. i cant wait

 

Dude, Spohn is a few hundred bucks more than liberty transmission. FYI

 

I third the Pro 5.0 ....

 

liberty transmission is cheaper? didnt know that. i shoulda looked around..i have to admit the t56 is expensive as hell new. its only a tranny for crying out loud.

 

Didnt your box say liberty on it? I think they do the conversion or something. I got mine from SDPC for $1970 shipped. I would assume you got an x member or something from spohn. What are you doing for a driveshaft?

i didnt look at the box carefully. just looked at the tranny. $1970 is a bargain. i already have the other necessary parts...crossmember, TA, driveshaft, all from Spohn. all i need now is a poly tranny mount, speedo calibrator, and my driveshaft rechecked just incase. well i think i spent way too much on this conv. and at the same time i've learned alot.

 

Well, live and learn!! We all know now there is no reason to buy that trans from an unnamed source. But when you are done, you will have a smooth shifting 6 speed good for some actual hp.

 

Last I heard Spohn was buying them from Fortes who sells them for $1976.

I decline to say where I aquired mine but I paid $1938 including shipping.

 

u paid 30 less than me. why would u decline to say? to not benefit others?

 

I decline because I got a special deal on mine, regular pricing is $2100 including shipping, still, thats $100 less than Spohn's price before shipping is added.
