t56(?) id help

So today in the wrecking yard I found what I think is a t56 in a 97 camaro. But it's a v6 car. I tried to take some pics of it but they didn't come out well. All I see for numbers is cast into the driver side is 13-58-065-822 or 13-56-065-822. Hard to tell which. Any idea what this is? I'll try to post the pics. Thanks.

Considering the T56 never came behind a V6 I doubt it is such. Most likely a variant of the T5.

That's what I first thought, but I'm real familiar with the t5 in the third gen cars and this looks nothing like it. Plus, the clutch slave is going into the bell instead of bolted to the outside. I really wish I could up load the pics of it. I'm hoping someone can recognize the numbers I listed. I've tried Google but couldn't find the numbers listed anywhere.

A quick search found you have the case # and really doesn't do much good. you really need the Tag # which is usually found on a blue tag towards the rear on one of the tail housing bolts.

Here is a pic of a T56 in my TA. Your saying the clutch slave setup looked like this?

Re: t56(?) id help

Ok, wouldn't the case number tell me if it's a t56? I don't really care what it came from, just weather its a 5 or 6 speed. And no, the clutch slave was different. It had a braided steel line running into a brass cylinder, and it was at a 90 degree angle to the bell housing. Never seen anything like it before. And the starter provision was on the driver side instead of the passenger side. It was marked as a Borg Warner on the side of the tail above the cross member. Any other 5 speeds that were used than the t-5?

Re: t56(?) id help

the t5 in the late 4.1 4th gen looks a lot different than a 3d gen t5, and the late ones had different TO bushing setups. Its not a t56

13-52 is the Borg-Warner T-5 prefix on T5 parts. Either way, no T56 would have 13-5x on case parts.

That's an anodized aluminum cylinder; it's part of the concentric slave cylinder used in the mid-90s-up V6 F-bodies and 98-up V8 F-bodies.

One item definitely different than the third-gen T5 is the vertically taller bolt pattern trans. to bellhousing.
