i will be installing my viper t56 next weekend. i am looking for any advice about removing my old trans and installing the new tranny. i know that with the t56 you put the bell housing on first and then the trans bolts up to that. i am ordering the 26 spline clutch disc to go with the t56 from D&D on monday. i was planning on reusing my pressure plate and all the bearings since they were installed less than 5K miles ago. i think they should be ok still.i think i already have all the necessary parts for the install here. i have the crossmember and the small aluminum spacers that go with it, the driveshaft and bellhousing. i am thinking about installing a DS safety loop since i will be under there anyways. i think my same flywheel will still work. what fluid does the t56 use? is there anything else i should know about before jumping into the install?

You're not gonna get the best tech around here. I would suggest asking somewhere else.

i'll see what i can do for you. i dont think it will be a very hard swap considering i have all the necessary parts, but only time will tell.

BTW does anyone recomend a certain brand of driveshaft safety loop? i will be installing one while doing the swap since i will be around taht area anyways.
