Why NOT To Buy a Junkyard 6 Speed For Your Next Project Car

[@d2123]

I got a t56 from you guys recently for my 72 corvette. Paired it with a 496 big block. The transmission is amazing.

[@Me497]

yeah, the biggest difference is the price. to do it on the cheap you get creative.

[@Los84Tx]

After seeing this, so glad I went with a new one from you guys .

[@408pballer]

Tr6060 they sell the shift and the 3 bolt adapter on the tailshaft I got it on my 67 c10

[@oldschool6268]

To be honest, by the time you buy a used T56, unless it's low mileage and well taken care of, most people will spend magnum price in the long run. Used transmission $2k no warranty, you get a problem instantly or say a year or two down the road (Most cases rebuilding time another 2k=4 grand total, buy T56 magnum $3200 and drive for years trouble free.

[@lsubeast13]

So you wouldn’t recommend buying a rebuilt stage 1 performance built t56? Came out of a 06 Pontiac GTO

[@taylorsutherland6973]

That's why I stick with 4 speeds. Used one $300 locally, rebuilt it myself for $350 in total parts including a new 1st and 2nd gears, all forged syncros, bearings, Gaskets etc.

Good information to consider. I'm swapping out a 4L60E in my 55' Chevy Task Force (second series) pickup for a six speed manual and plan on the Tremec T-56 Magnum. I'll check out your website. Thanks.

I am looking for a 6 speed manual transmission for my built 1000 hp 392 hemi challenger . I need some help to find a one that can handle 1000 foot pounds .

[@SS8UUP]

Abdul Rahman Mounla tick performance or RPM transmissions have upgraded versions that will handle the power

Hi mate, after a steel bellhousing for the old borgwarner t56, it’s a chev box, any help where to get one would be appreciated

[@dart760]

What would it take to swap a ls1 t56 from 2001 camaro. On a 1987 sbc thirdgen

[@AmericanPowertrain]

too much to write up here. Give us a call at 931-646-4836 we can go over all the details

[@MistaDebonair2U]

So what kind of trans iscthis again?

[@AmericanPowertrain]

6-speed Tremec

[@383mazda]

What's the shifter feel like in the magnum vs the BW T56? I've got a t56 in my LS swapped rx7 and I don't like it all all. Compared to my old na miata, the t56 is like rowing through wet cement...

[@ibinyth5866]

The magnum is a significant improvement over the bw t56. Internally the tr6060 is the production model of the magnum. Only problem is the tailshaft but you can buy a kit to covert it to the magnum tailshaft and shifter from tick performance for like $500. So unless you can get a tr6060 for dirt cheap it's still best to go with the magnum.

[@bensteadman1267]

What type of rx7?

[@mubashircheentavida]

Yeaaaaa i just got burnt with a used t56 😒

[@henryholliday1]

that is the biggest reason I would never buy used drive train parts or any non body parts, I would probably get a used up turd that is not worth its weigh in scrap and being that my vehicle is going to be my daily driver I plan on buying once and crying once and putting new parts in that have a Warranty

[@mubashircheentavida]

@@henryholliday1 the only time I'd say it can be worth is if you can rebuild it. Which is exactly what I had to do lol..

[@Edgar-and-Wrench]

What exactly happened uf you dont mind me asking

[@mubashircheentavida]

@@Edgar-and-Wrench just in general old t56s need to be refreshed. But since then I've learned to rebuild my own t56s and it's not at all that bad. Easy way to tell is of the input shaft is chewed up

[@Edgar-and-Wrench]

@mubashircheentavida thanks for the info. Yea ive been looking for one but im worried ill get someone elses pos

[@RichardMLowe]

What about a 74 Vega

[@AmericanPowertrain]

what about it? if you have cut off wheel it will fit
