Value of a t-56 set up

[WHRDUGO]

Thinking of upgrading my trans to a magnum if there is any value left in my factory unit. I would let everything from the alum flywheel and clutch to the out put shaft. trans only has 28 000 kms on it and has a new mgw sitting on top.

Any idea what this set up from a 03 cobra would be worth as a package? never looked in to the value of these in the past.

I'll buy the MGW from you.

FWIW its worth I paid $500 USD for my t56 and flywheel combo. So probably 750-1000 would be my guess on range.

[WHRDUGO]

That's all they are worth. ... Damn not worth selling it then. I got more than double that on my c4. Even my new clutch set up doubles that value And I still don't have all the pieces to finish the job.

if you consider selling, please let me know.....

I would consider buy it as a package. For an older 5.0 swap I would have no use for bell housing or flywheel. But take it

I have a magnum in my cobra with a quicktime bell (those are awesome btw straight and near perfect IMO), it is a nice unit.
You could upgrade your existing to magnum specs but the cost just buy a new one

Last two I bought, paid $1200 for one, $1400 for the second. Both low mileage zero issues.

T-56's have gone up in price. I paid 1300 for mine 16,000 mile trans (included drive shaft). Chev T-56's are going for 200+, Ford T-56's are going for $1500ish.

[Laffs]

WTF, guess I got a deal. My 20,000 mile unit was $500 all in and had two shifter setups, the cobra flywheel, the boot and hardware, stock clutch and cables.

[ZR]

Smokin deal for sure.

Huge dineros to do a T5 to T56 Magnum in a Fox; if you buy everything new, it will cost over $ 6000 without labour; minus what you sell your old stuff for.

The Magnum Trans is $ 3000 USD alone. Will also need a 26 spline clutch disc/ setup since that is one of the key areas of improvement over the standard T56 and why the Magnum is rated at 700 lb ft.

[ZR]

Just depends on your wants, needs and budget is all. Unless you need or just plain really want a 6spd, TKO swap makes more sense in a Fox.

i want to upgrade my t45 to a T56

[ZR]

When I finally decided on a clutch for mine, will be upgrading to 26 spline input shaft.

Wow t-56's have come down quite a bit
Since I last looked
I would buy one in the 12-1400 range as long as it was in good shape
So if anyone knows of one let me know

Also if anyone knows of a good price on a GM t-56 again let me know

Yes, not that long ago, were lucky to score a good one for anything under 2K even without acc bits n pieces.

[WHRDUGO]

The input shaft is what my issue is now, the 26 spline upgrade has been on back order for about 6 months now and I have a mcloed 26 spline rxt waiting for the shaft. Makes no sense for me to put another 10 spline clutch in it as I have been waiting to turn the boost up but didnt want to damage the 10 spline.

My choices are super limited to either wait it out to a unknown time or just do a magnum swap and move on with enjoying the car again.

I wanted to buy a ls1 camaro or trans am before getting the mustang and everything I looked at was 10 grand and been in an accident.

[TurboFox]

Im looking for a 6 speed one for myself as a car to do the road course in. But i will keep an eye out

At least two different mfgs, have you shopped around for it or tried ebay?

[WHRDUGO]

Been everywhere. Even in contact with tremec themselves. D and d have 100 units on back order. Been a real chase ti find one. A shop in Dallas is machining then now out of Chevy shafts which maybe my only resort. Liberty is out of stock aswell but they weld theirs together and that is a no go for me.

I,ve done a few t-56 in my time.. Wait and get the right update (input shaft is a must) there are a few for that trans..

[WHRDUGO]

Can't wait to long as the stock clutch doesn't stand a chance against the big kenne bell. Running a pie dish pulley now just buying time

Sounds like a great excuse to buy new .... I wonder if thats the grand scheme?

[ZR]

I'm 585 at the tire on stock clutch.

[WHRDUGO]

I will hit mid 6 00's once I pulley it To 18-19 psi. If I get on it in first, have to adjust the clutch after at 15 psi so it is a limited time deal

At 565 whp my clutch was fine with holding the power.

[ZR]

I've got a couple of guys out there at mid 600's on stock clutch. No idea why they hold up so well but it's cool that they do.

[Laffs]

I think driving/launch style have a lot to do with it.
