the new tranny did not come with a shifter handle .this is the aftermarket tranny that bolts to a t5 bellhousing.im not sure if i should get just the handle or the complete shifter like a ripper shifter. any help as always is appreciated

 

Dude, i just bought the same trans. Just buy a pro 5.0.

So this new t56 trans bolts right up to a t5 bell with no adapter plate or anything?can you use a mechanical clutch linkage set up?Where did you get them and how much?This would make my swap so easy,thanks for any help!

from what i remember about this trans, it uses the T5 shifter (not the T56 shifter). Also, http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com has them for $2295 + $40 to redrill for straight up bellhousing

 

gofaster,

one bad, darkhorse performance $1899 spohn torque arm and center brace 400 im not sure if the mechanical linkage works? go to salle chevy site it will tell you

Does anyone know which part number to get??

 

ok, i ordered a pro 5.0. just tell them it is for an aftermarket t-56 and you need the t-5 lever. It is supposed to fit directly in my car with no probs. I will let you know on the 26.

 

GofasterFirebird...how is the Pro 5.0?

 

i have the pro 5.0 with the aftermarket t56. i didnt specify the t5 handle and it fits fine except for the reverse, you have to push a little to nudge the console over like an eighth of an inch or so. i had a ripper shifter with the t5 which i liked better but the pro 50 is wearing in and im liking it more. if you dont hook up the reverse solinoid the its a pain to get it into reverse but you can do it and after awhile it gets a lot easier. hope it helps.
