Gentlemen, line em up, talked to Tremec this morning, ship in 1-2 weeks, dealers have waiting lists...

Wish I knew where to line up - was planning to buy from D&D, but based on a few post above, they aren't expecting any. Any other suggestions? I wonder if RPM has any on order - I might try them.

Hanlon Motorsports, Western Motorsports, Tick Motorsports. After what Tremec told me most vendors will get an allotment but I wasn't privy to the exact numbers and any other vendors than what they told me above. Hope it helps guys, can't connect all the dots but a few should work...

I talked with tremec for months and they always say 1-2 weeks. So I'll believe it when I see it. I had to pay 750 for a new one in December from a member. But on a side note there's one for sale right now in the market for 550. Who ever needs I'd jump on it.

I agree. I hope for everyone that they do end up producing these again but we've been hearing "a few weeks" for a few months now. I think the first batch was supposed to be available in January.....we're into April now.

After Getting scammed by Dagostino Racing and calling over 30 places around the country and outside the country (specifically multiple GM t56 shops) I found a guy in Canada that had one! It was his last one; I just got it about 15 minutes ago! :)

Wonder if a set group buy would appeal to tremec for this. Not sure what the hold up is unless it's machining set up/cost or forecast of production needs falling short. Not really wanting modified unit. I want one designed for 03-04 Cobra.

Wow, happy days - assuming this isn't some screw up. Thanks to weaselp1 for the heads up - he PM'd me the ebay posting earlier. The listing was for 10 shafts, but there is a comment that they've just got 20 of them in stock from Tremec. Price was $430 shipped, about the going rate before they all disappeared. Planned to get back on tonight and pick one up, used the link above and it was $350 shipped, but for the shaft only. I picked one up on this listing, but now not sure on the other parts listed in the other listing?

Edited because there are two listing, but not the same parts in each.

Your welcome!

One listing is just for the shaft only without the tapered rolling bearing and races needed for a full install and One listing has the tapered roller bearing and races needed for a full install. The shim kit is just for determining end play on the shaft during installation. You will have to pick up the tapered rolling bearing and races needed elsewhere if you just bought the shaft.

Gentlemen, it seems I got my chain yanked, and good. I didn't know others were being told the same thing, so maybe I'll just take my T56 to Michigan and set it afire on Tremec's lawn! I hadn't checked this post lately and so I called a few places today after reading and what all y'all are saying is what vendors are saying. My apology!
