The little things with the t-56 install
ok all of the little things that go along with t-56 need to be done.
and here is the list. how can i drain my transmission completely and re-fill it? what is the best stuff to use?
also where can i get a plug for the reverse lights, lockout and clutch start connections?
Well pretty much every connection that i need to make i need to know about. thanks

There's a drain plug at the bottom of the passenger side of the trans. Pull the plug and let it **** till it quits. Then fill the tranny with Dexron 3 tranny fluid (I used Mobil 1 synthetic and it works very well) via the fill plug halfway up the driver side of the tranny. Fill it till it leaks out the hole, then plug the hole (make sure the car is level when you do this.)
Fill the clutch reservoir with brake fluid.
The connectors you'll probably have to get from a junkyard. I believe GM only sells the complete harness.
Wiring takes a lot of typing. I'll PM you those sections of my halfway complete comprehensive tech article.
