T56 drilled for T5...does this mean adapter plate?
Is anybody familiar with this?

Is this a T56 with the adapter plate I've seen searching through old threads, or is it something that doesn't need it. I'm not too familiar with T56 transmissions, but have messed with the T5 a little. Thanks for any help

Yah, thats the one that uses the T5 bellhousing and clutch, but moves everything back 2 inches. The shifter is modified to stay in the same place, but you'll have to shorten your driveshaft 2 inches, and modify the crossmember too, I think...

Thanks guys, that's what I was looking for. Just trying to get a good feel for the T56 swap thing as I'm looking to replace my car and could be interested in doing one myself.
