anyone know roughly how much a T56 rebuild is?


from ad:

ive seen the parts of it, the countershaft has some of the teeth ripped off it... no idea how that coulda happened...


in anycase, how much you guys think for a rebuild? a new countershaft? new synchros (all of them)?

 

synchros, fork pads, etc

I would guess $100-200 for a GM countershaft, but don't quote me on that.

As for labor....I don't have a clue. I do this kind of work myself (in fact, I did it when I swapped in my T-56) so I can't tell you much about the cost of the rebuild. However, if you want to try it yourself I have a .pdf copy of the T-56 service manual.....email me if you want it.

 

Do they make hi-perf. internals for the t56? I mean, i am sure they do, but how much would it cost do you guys think for a complete rebuild for say, a better load rating?

 

There really isn't much to upgrade in the T-56. Steel shift forks aren't too pricey, and you can go to dog-rings instead of synchros, but after that you get into cyro-treated shafts and weird stuff like that. There are a few Viper parts that are stronger and will swap in I think, but I'm not too sure on that. Look in the "advanced tech" section at CZ28...there are some guys there who have strengthened their T-56s.

 

Reason i ask is b/c D&D want some serious cash for their trans'. I'm wondering if i could just get a used t56 and have someone around here do the rebuild. I know i could just ask the guy i know how much it would cost but i would like to know what all is involved and hear from others who have done the same too. Well, thanks for the tip for cz28.com. I'll check it out.
