trans took a shit today. If there is a simple answer to this, id like it. Who makes the strongest t56. I assume it isnt the t56 magnum from d&d performance.
I haven't really researched their company yet, but I got a quote from Standard Transmission and Gear Inc in Fort Worth, TX for a "Stage 2" rebuild (Standard Transmissions & Parts: Tremec - Borg Warner - New Venture - Getrag, Cummins, 4 speed transmission, 5 speed transmission, 6 speed transmission). For $850, this is what the rebuild consists of:
Carbon Kevlar synchro rings
Keys and springs
Fork pad kit
Seals
Billet 1-2 keys
Billett 3-4 keys
Bronze 1-2-3-4 fork pads
Bronze shifter bushing
Steel 3-4 fork
No way thats parts and labor..... (as in rebuild labor with you dropping off the tranny)
How does texas drive train's t56's stack up to D&D's "unbreakable one" which is $4000.
I hate the idea of dropping 3-4k on trans repair(if it isnt trashed) but we all know the importance of building it the best you can the first time. I am not wanting to do this away. This kills the rest of my year and then some.
That is great news!I have found that the 3,899.00 price tag from D&D also comes with bellhousing, trans mount and a "new" driveshaft.
That is great news!
Now it's just a matter of seeing who can build the strongest. I still think texas drive train might be the place to go but im sure labor cost are on par with the same parts. I guess ill have to get stuff cryoed.
I actually bought the front driveshaft yoke from D&D. I assume it's a 31 spline since the trans is from a viper coupe.
