    Who has done a T56 swap?

    By putting together my own kit with a rebuilt trans, I could save almost 1,000. I probably wont do anything until spring, I am just looking for all the information I can get my hands on. I would consider doing a T45- do they have an SFI approved bellhouse available?

    Who has done a T56 swap?

    I was originally going to install a used TR3650 for as long as it would hold up, but there is no way I am going through all that work, just to do it again. Now I am thinking about going T56.... as cheap as I can. I know I can get a rebuilt unit for 1700, a shifter for 200, and a crossmember for...

    Trilink vs MM torque arm vs Griggs torque arm

    I personally am going to get the MM TA, Panhard bar and LCA's (already have). I have heard nothing but good things about this setup. There is no cutting, but you might have to modify your H/X pipe, and maybe your tail pipes depending on the brand. You will need subframe connectors to mount the...

    Questions about the trans swap....

    I powershift all the time into second gear, and occasionally 3rd. For some reason 3rd gear is the only one that I am having problems with, it just wont go into gear. I am surprised the trans broke before the clutch.... who knows, maybe its not the original clutch? The car has 68,000 miles.

    Questions about the trans swap....

    I was going to install a new TOB, but I dont know anything about the pilot bearing. I guess I will have to look at my Chiltons manual to get a better idea. I am not going to replace the clutch because the better clamping force is going to help me destroy the trans again... It sucks being...

    Questions about the trans swap....

    What kind of "weird socket" do I need to remove the drive shaft? The only thing I am really worried about is having to remove my headers to gain access... I guess I will see what happens... How did everyone else gain access to the top tranny bolts?

    Questions about the trans swap....

    Thanks for the input! I meant for this to be posted in Tech...I'm not sure how I messed that up. I should have a trans jack available which I am hoping will help.. I really dont want to take a header off, thats a huge pain in the ass. Taking the intake manifold off wouldnt be the end of the...

    Questions about the trans swap....

    Ok, I finally found a donar trans for my car. Its a used 3650 out of a 2002 mustang, just like mine. I was looking at beefed up tansmissions to swap in, but my employer put my on a 3 day work week, so $350 for a used tranny was all I could muster up. I have never done any tranny work before...

    Cutting front springs: which side to cut?

    I'd make sure the spring is in the pocket where it should be and double check your isolators. Instead of cutting you might just take out the isolators on that side and use electrical tape to prevent the metal on metal noise..

    Transmission/rear rebuild

    They come with the bellhousing, its just not SFI approved. If you plan on running your car at the track... or if you like you toes, you should get a tranny that has an SFI approved bellhouse available.

    Transmission/rear rebuild

    It does include the cabron fiber syncros in the built 3650. I have called and talked to them about it. If you plan on making north of 400hp you need something different then the crappy stock 3650. I broke mine @60,000 miles on street tires at the track, on my first pass with the supercharger...

    Ethanol question..

    The thing I am concerned about is my car isn't stock.. I have all the mods in my sig, and am close to the limits of my shortblock. THATS why I am concerned- obviously if my car was stock I wouldnt care much about the E10 sticker on the side of the pump. I will ask Tim @ MPH and see what he...

    VALVE COVER GASKETS 03 GT: Anyone use the FelPro Gaskets from Autozone

    I got fel-pro's from autozone and they sucked. They were fine the first time, but as soon as you tried to reuse them they wouldnt stay put.

    Ethanol question..

    I didnt think we had "winter gas" in Kansas? I thought only northern states got that? Hell, I dont know... I just had never seen that on a pump before here. And I thought when you ran ethenol you had to run bigger injectors? I know it has a higher octane rating, but I thought you needed more...

    In the market for tranny

    promotionpowertrain.com has a built 3650. Only problem is the bellhousing isnt SFI approved. Another issue is you would need a 26 spline clutch. My 3650 is toast as well.... I am tired of going from second to fourth..
