I don't browse the transmission forum very often but i was digging through spohn's site and found a tremec T-56 6 speed in their tranny section. I did a search and couldn't find an exact answer but it sounds like this t56 bolts right up. I know a few things must change like the driveshaft, but what other type of mods are required? I would rather keep a 5-speed but my little T-5 can't handle the 350 HO I'm buying, and its also easier (to me at least) to find a 6-speed. Any info reguarding this tranny would be helpful, including things like what type of short throw could work, so thanks ahead of time for your reply.

The only thing I had to "change" was the pedals (mine was an auto), Flywheel & clutch (you'll have to do this too), cross-member and torque arm mount. That's it. You will probably have to do something for a speedo, I bought one of the Dakota Digital SGI-5 boxes to address that little issue.

 

so you bought that exact transmission? how does the shifting feel, is the reverse gear separate or do you have to pull up under the ****? just looking for any info that might help my decision. thanks

anyone else?

 

another thing- is this tranny the same thing i could yank out of a fourth gen or does buying this one make the swap easier??
