Superstick g56 install and first impressions

The transmission is finally home from superstick and I couldnt be happier with the way it turned out. These guys really are the best in the country when it comes to building a g56 transmission so make sure to check them out when you are ready to have yours done.

[@Fonzieshoots]

Gnarly! They thing is a work of art

[@demetriuspalmer2992]

I've wanted to build me a 2nd Gen 12v G56 for the longest time and now this motivates me even more once I'm done at this Diesel Tech Program I'm at and got da money to get a 2nd Gen 12v as a project lol

[@Cargill450]

Hell yeah man do it

[@AlexMendoza69]

I'm doing that right now Demetrius, my 98 12 valve is getting shipped from Missouri to Superstick headquarters in Texas. Doing a G56 swap, I'll give you update soon.

[@hellrzr_6158]

I would put an NV5600 in if I was you. They have alot stronger case, there alot quieter and they shift better in my opinion.

[@sethstatler8480]

Purple is my favorite color and sir that is a gorgeous unit.

[@Cargill450]

Thank you!! I appreciate that

[@mikestrucks]

First ! I was waiting for this 😬💪🏻

[@Cargill450]

I'm sorry it took so long but man oh man is this a good unit!!!

[@mikestrucks]

@@Cargill450 no probs buddy ! But man I have to say I’m Jealous !! But in a good way 😉👍🏻

[@Cargill450]

Thank you man!! I would be closer to having it broke in but all the thing wants to do right now is fight me so all I have to say to that is game on!!

[@davidanderson8469]

I've used Amsoil 75-90 MTG for years now. It's the slickest stuff yet.

[@Cargill450]

I am going to change the fluid to see how it reacts to thicker oil but I'm between the mtg 75-90 and the 140 severe gear

[@davidanderson8469]

@@Cargill450 The 140 might rresemble the Lazarsmith junk I put in yrs ago. it was so thick the trans wwould hardly shift. I drained the fluid with 45 miles on it and the oil was filled with brass particles. He's lightened it up since.

[@Cargill450]

Good point, I will go with the mtg then

[@davidanderson8469]

I think you'll really like it. When I saw the utube of the company that's what they recommended as I recall.

[@Pickledlizardnipples]

Done a few transmissions that way and then bought a cheap harbor freight trans jack. Makes life 10x easier

[@Cargill450]

Yeah I can't do it that way again that was brutal

[@BrandonLeech]

looked sketchy as hell getting that lifted back up in there

[@Cargill450]

It was I can’t lie about that, if this tranny comes out again I’m going to buy a decent jack.

[@Farmor4x4]

IS THIS FOR CUMMIN ENGINE ONLY? I WANT TO KNOW IF IT CAN BE PUT ON THE HEMI 5.7 2006 PLEASE

[@chrisanderson5369]

Regarding your clutch masters, did you have to use aftermarket hydraulics with adjustable pedal position, or oem hydraulics? Getting ready to put in a fx1200 organic in mine.

[@Cargill450]

Aftermarket for sure!! I adjusted my clutch pedal probably about 1/4 inch higher then my brake pedal and it's happy there

[@ryand8639]

did your original trans have the mounting holes at rear case stripped out? mine have been this way for a long time and it drives me nuts. also, did they do anything to the new trans to prevent that from happening?

[@Cargill450]

My mounting holes were still really good but I would imagine they would fix those for you, maybe heli-coil them or fill and redrill

[@codybaker3345]

​ @Cargill450 was yours trans broke? Or just sent to them to have it built stronger?

[@Cargill450]

My 5th gear syncro was starting to make horrible noises when shifting so I wanted to send it out before something more serious happened but at the same time decided to build it stronger at the same time.

[@sebastianluna830]

How hard was it to get ahold of them? Been had my g56 on a few alley ready to ship but haven’t heard from em since Thursday.

[@Cargill450]

It depends on how busy they are really but they are really good about getting g back to you if they don't answer

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

I've been debating on getting a clutch master kit

[@Cargill450]

They are really nice but it's a man's clutch 😂😅

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

[@Cargill450]

Its stiffer then my southbend

[@cadilakisrodcustom]

@@Cargill450 I have no idea what clutch is in mine now, but its pretty stiff.

[@jokermanthemechanic]

Can I use this transmission in a 2008 dodge ram 1500 4.7 liter 6 spd manuel as a replacement. Because I can't find a 238 getrag 6 spd manuel trans new to save my life.

[@Cargill450]

My biggest fear would be the bell housing

[@lloydsmith4677]

Have you ever had a problem with throttle sticking ? For example when you go to shift the throttle still seems to be engaged and the RPMs still climb for a second or two before dropping unless you come off the throttle pedal two seconds before engaging the clutch. It seems to be more noticeable when you're in the throttle more shifting it at higher RPMs I know this is unrelated to your video but there's not too many people with a g56 on KZbin

[@Cargill450]

I haven't had that issue on mine but I have noticed on some trucks it does seem like the throttle hangs a little bit before it drops. Is it a stock truck?

[@daltonmcmanus8921]

You need a lighter flywheel man

[@jameswebb9397]

My boss has a 6.7 with a g56. Gotta let off throttle wait a sec then clutch in. Throttle is electrical and has lag to it

[@mrt9689]

What gears do you have in your axles? I have a 2017 with 342s. Your truck is a little older I wanna do this so bad just trying to see if I will have to do the axles too with 37s. I know you said it’s great but wanted to see what your ratio was.

[@Cargill450]

I have 3.42s in the axles but with the trans work it feels amazing on the 37s

[@mrt9689]

@@Cargill450 guna do this when I can dude. Thanks for uploading this man. I’ve been waiting to see one of his G56 trans

[@Cargill450]

Honestly you will love it

[@ironhorse3497]

Did you have to pay extra for the purple paint?? Just curious..

[@Cargill450]

No I didn't, its something they do that is included

[@Farmor4x4]

ESTA ES PARA MOTOR CUMMIN SOLAMENTE? DESEO SABER SI SE PUEDE PONER EN LA HEMI 5.7 2006 POR FAVOR

[@Cargill450]

I really want to say that your 5.7 truck has a g56 transmission in it so you should be able to do the same thing but to make sure I would recommend having you call over to superstick and they would be able to reassure us that it is the same and if it is I'm sure they can make it happen for you.

[@chriscollison3136]

Is it the 30% thicker cast case? Lazersmith says they have one that will handle 7500whp so unbreakable either laxer of CDP but anywho looks sweet! How much is what I’m wondering! I just installed FAST coolers and a compound kit so running close to 900 who so I’ll be ready for a trans like yesterday! I run the Amsoil synchromesh and really like it btw! If you become a dealer it’s not too bsd priced FYI!

[@Cargill450]

So im not here to start any beef with anyone or any companies but I do know after talking with Super Stick that they have build a wild amount of these g56 transmissions with the stock cases and they hold up great, the last thing i should be able to break this trans build is the actual case and that is because of just how tight they build them but I have no doubt that I cant throw all the power to this trans and the case will hold but none the less their prices are great depending if you are just getting the trans rebuilt or have serious damage the price will change and I should defiantly look into becoming a dealer because the oil is amazing and I have been trying to run nothing but Amsoil lately so it would make sense for sure. Thank you for talking the time to watch also it means a lot!!

[@davidanderson8469]

I had too much noise with Amsoil Synchromesh. I use their MTG. I tried lazersmith's fluid. I was sso thick the trans wouldd't shift. I had bookoo brass particles when i drained it after 45 miles. MTG since.

[@Cargill450]

I'm going to have to try that fluid, how does it shit compared to the syncromesh

[@stevecaraway9619]

Did they put the bigger input shaft in it?

[@Cargill450]

No not in this one, input and output are factory.

[@mrt9689]

Did Cody Albright do the trans? This is sweet brother. I wanna get mine done. Are you going to change your gears too?

[@Cargill450]

Yes he did do the trans, I was going to change the gears but what ever witchcraft he did in that trans is perfect now

[@mrt9689]

@@Cargill450 do you feel like the trans is stressed spinning the 37s?

[@Cargill450]

Before I had it rebuilt absolutely but now not at all, im slowly working on my break in miles but it feels so much better then it did before its really hard to explain but it woke up the truck more then I ever thought it would and thats 100% honesty not trying to sell anybody on anything but I will never send one of these transmissions anywhere else.

[@mrt9689]

Thanks for getting back to me dude. I’m going to do this I’ve been waiting to see one of these trans.

You bet!! It's the least I can do, you won't regret having him build your trans I can promise you that much

[@gavintaylor298]

What's an approximate price tag on one of these? I lost the g56 in my 4th gen a couple of weeks ago.

[@Cargill450]

There all different depending on if you have worn or broken parts in the trans so I would recommend calling them but for example I paid 3400 to have mine rebuilt and shipped

[@gavintaylor298]

@@Cargill450 that's really reasonable considering the upgrades. I'm sure I have some broken parts (counter shaft at least). I lost everything but 5th all at once. Hoping the case is good. Thanks for the info! I'll give them a call 👍🏼

[@Cargill450]

You bet!!! I'm sure if you went with they you would not be disappointed

[@WV_Outdoors]

what's lead times like from shipping out to receiving the trans back? I am definitely going this route on the next go round

[@Cargill450]

Its going to all depend on how busy they are and where you live so all I can tell you is how it was for me but shipping was 5 day each way and once I came up in the queue at superstick they got me done really quick

I dont know anyone first hand but I know superstick keeps them around

[@nicolasramirez6567]

Your truck sounds good what upgrades have done ??

[@Cargill450]

Thank you, its has a few things done to it, it has a s367 3rd gen swap not a 2nd gen swap and it also is a 4 inch straight pipe exhaust, there are a lot of other little things but those have a big impact on sound.

[@nicolasramirez6567]

Do you sent to them to get rebuild for 1000 hp ???

[@nicolasramirez6567]

I'm curious because is not to expensive $3400 thats what you paid right?

[@Cargill450]

Yes I sent the tranny to them to be built to handle 1000hp, they are good at what they do and they don't like to change anything you don't need

I'm really interested on building mine but they don't answer calls even messages.....what address do you send your trans to them ...pleace

What a struggle wrestling that trans into place, spend the money for a trans jack folks and don't risk damaging your input shaft and or clutch components.

Right?! Having installed around 30+ transmissions without one, I couldn't believe how easy it was WITH one. Installed my NV4500 myself in less than 5 minutes. Well worth the money!
