T56 6 speed tranny swap


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I want to put a T56 6 speed transmission in my monte. Has any one out there ever done this? I Know I will have to cut my tunnel and shorten my drive shaft then mount the hydrolic clutch system.

 

I think I can use the stock cross member with a new tranny mount. If anyone knows of anything else that would help me just let me know.

 

I also have a post for instaling an LT1 in the Engine message board.

I know www.keislerauto.com has 5-speed kits for A-bodies and also has T56's for other muscle cars...

Install Instructions

 

I have swapped a TREMEC TKO in place of a TH350 (before Keisler existed). No mods to the tranny tunnel (excpet for cutting the shifter hole). I have heard the T56 will require more mods to the tunnel. Had to make an adapter to use the stock tranny crossmember... Have a mechanical clutch...

I had a custom driveshaft made at www.dennysdriveshaft.com
