Well, I was coming home from work and off a stop sign I decided to give 'er a little gas, I went to shift into second, missed it, and it didnt just grind and pop it out, it blew my second gear. I believe I blew the syncro on 2nd gear, as the other 4 gears work fine and I can hear no rattling from the trans, but I am not sure. My friend is a full time mechanic, and he can take the trans out/put it back in, but I would need to get it fixed at a trans repair shop. Any idea what it will cost?

Yeah, that is what I would say.

$1900 to rebuild a T5, I thought they cost less than that???

My friend has a friend who might be willing to sell me a t-56 for real cheap, and that would be nice. Otherwise, I am too friggin poor.

The trans repair shop is calling me back in 45 minutes when the trans mech. gets in to give me a ballpark figure. The guy on the phone said it was $75/hr, and it takes ~9 hours to take the trans out, rebuild it, and put it back in. And as I am going to take it out and put it back in myself, I am *hoping* for ~7 hours = $525 for labor. Which is $525 that was going to go towards maggy x-pipe and catback.

well I called another trans repair shop, as the other one hasn't called back yet, and he said I was looking at $1000-1200 if I brought the trans in to him.

So I have been thinking that if I can't get the t-56 from my friend, I am going to try and find a used t-56. I found one on ebay that is from an '01 camaro, that has been rebuilt and upgraded. Will it work (I am pretty doubtful) in the cobra if i get the proper bellhousing, ect?

Here is a link to the tranny.

The camaro's T56 won't work on a cobra unless it had a new input shaft, bellhousing pattern and some other things done to it...
