Suggestions for T5 rebuild
I need to go through my T5 (synchros, bearings and seals) and am looking for a reasonably priced place to have it done. OR... even better... a good source for parts (complete rebuild kit) and maybe I can get DL to go through it :wink:
I was considering an Astro Performance rebuild with gear upgrades but don't have the coin to play in that arcade ($1200 quote).
I'd rather put it into a T56 WHEN that rule is approved 8)

It is my understanding that you can put that in to your car now, even without the LT1.

your understanding would be wrong.

This might need to be moved to the 'Rules' thread...

7.3 Update/Backdate Non-body Components
Non-body components may be updated/backdated within cars of the same manufacturer on the eligible manufacturers/models list (i.e. 1982-92 GM Early components may NOT be interchanged with 1993-97 GM Late components) unless noted elsewhere in these rules.
But then this one may offer up some hope...depends on how it is interpreted.
7.27.1. Any OEM stock four, five or six speed transmission that was originally offered in an eligible model car of the same manufacturer is allowed. Tremec 3550 (Tremec part 260 0682R or TCET1376 only), and Tremec TKO transmissions are also allowed.
I would LOVE to put the T56 in my 3rd gen...
Can I get an official ruling on this as I am about to start the trans rebuild or swap process.

Were you looking at a T-56 more for the extra weight, or for the gas mileage in 6th gear??
:)

Actually, the weight would help a bit (I'm underweight without a passenger seat) but I'm more interested in having something that doesn't break all the time.
