What to cut for the T-56 to fit.....
Ok so the tranny is in the car and it is bolted up. Now I am wondering what you guys have had to do to get it to all bolt up. Like cutting the floorpan, re-drilling for the new hydros and stuff. I have a general idea, I just was curiouse if anyone could give me more detail on the situation. I have all the parts I need.
Also one last quick thing. Where do you get the little plastic buttins that keep the shaft mounted to the pedal? I tried the dealer and they could only give me one that didn't seem to fit right. Well it fit for the old T-5. Also I need one for the brake booster. They don't seem to have this. Does anyone (there must be someplace)? Thanks.

Thanks for the link. I guess it goes in just as I thought. I just have 1 Q for anyone out there that has gone from T-5 to T-56 and is using new 4th gen hydros...Did you guys have some kind of aluminum spacer btween the slave and the bellhousing?
thx.

It was included on the trans I bought but was loose (easily lost). As I recall, the slave pinches the spacer between itself and the bellhousing.
I have no part number for you, though.
S-D
What trans are you using? 2.971st or 2.66 first?
Reason I ask is that I have the 2.66 1st gear and a 3.08 rear end and it is geared way low (numerically).

I am not sure what my first gear is. I have the info at home. It is out of a 94 TA. But either way I have a crazy 4.11 rear gear for the street so I sould be fine
