A T56, like a T5, is internally rail shifted -- no "linkage" that you have to worry about.

I used the flywheel and clutch pressure plate/disc from my old 4 speed when I upgraded to the T5. However, doesn't the factory T56 use a pull style clutch instead of a push style clutch? That might get dicey.

yes, with the retrofit t56 that used the t-5 bellhousing

or you can track down the custom bellhousing and see if the maker can build you one for the manual linkage clutch
