also, how long can i expect the rest of the gears to hold up?
... and if anyone knows any good people/company in the CT area that charges decent and does quality work... please let me know.
thanx.

 

Im my old Stang with a t5 i lost 4th and drove around a good 2yrs before the rest of the tranny gave way.... driving home from NY in 3rd sucked!!!!!! Revving to 6k and popping the clutch hopping it would hold, hahaha fun stuff try it out.

 

You will probably find that the cost to rebuild the T56 approaches the cost of a good used one...Many shops will charge at least $1,000, and that is if you bring the trans to them

 

Ouch.. That really sucks. I'm sure if ya had the space to do it, you could rebuild it yourself. It isn't all that hard to do from my understanding.
