I have read alot about the t-56 on this board. What I need to know is what flywheel and clutch can be used with a older 2 piece rear main seal crank. I know that I need to get a tranny from a LT1 car, and someone said that the 93 version didnt have the .50 sixth gear ratio. Please any help I can get on this will help. And if anyone knows the ratios of a 93 tranny, and the other ones that would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You, Jimmy

 

You'll need to buy a custom flywheel. I think centerforce makes it.

Then bolt up any LT1 T56 clutch, and install tranny.

 

thanks buddy......I saw that your info says "lord of the shredded 10 bolts" How much power do you think that i could run through the 7.5 rear-end with a slp diff......thanks

 

I couldn't tell you. Mine grenaded the posi carrier pretty quickly, but due to my crap clutch in my '99 I haven't been able to see how well the Zexel-Torsen holds up.

 

The 93 T-56 has a .62 ratio. In reality unless you have a real low rearend gear ratio you won't be able to use 6th under 80 mph.

If you already have a T-5 in the car your money ahead if you go with the aftermarket T-56 so you don't have to get the centerforce flywheel and all of the other parts.

 

Here you go:

1993 T56: Borg Warner T56 6-spd manual
3.36, 2.07, 1.35, 1.00, 0.80, 0.62

1994-1997 T56:
first; 2.66, second; 1.78, third; 1.30, fourth; 1.00, fifth; 0.74,
sixth; 0.50

 

the flywheel i used is made by Centerforce p/n 700107 i paid $280 for it, you should be able to get it a little cheaper depending on where you get it from and the shipping costs. just get a clutch that is for LT1 t-56. yes 6th gear doesnt really come into play unless i am doing over 80 because of these damn 3.08 gears, also it doesnt exactly leap off the line either.

 

thanks guys....i think i might go with a super t-10 that i have sitting around at home. It is already built with all the strong stuff so i figured what the **** i'll put it in. so I have another question for you guys, I'm doing all this to my 94 somona that i put a 327 in, the stock clutch linkage is hydraulic and i kinda want to keep it that way. Does lakewood make a bellhousing that will allow me to keep the hydraulic slave cylinder set-up. I'm asking you guys alot of this stuff cause on s-series.org there isnt alot of v8 stuff to do with this. thank you, Jimmy

 

Lakewood part # 150020 thirdgen Camaor/Firebird bellhousing, Factory replacement and will accomadate an 11" clutch assembly.

Is that the part you want?
