Well my T56 took a shit on me 2 months into owning the car.
Car has 36k miles, 2.2KB and the T56 has a 5.0 Shifter and 26-spline input.

The car pretty much over night started whining like that. I've parked it and have been working on other things since then.
I talked with Jason at Dallas Drivetrain Performance http://texasdrivetrainperformance.com/
Great guy, based on the video, mileage and car, he surmises the 26-spline was not installed correctly and one of the bearings had shifted. Input Shaft and 4th Gear are most likely toast.
So...
Stage II rebuild - $1,080
Carbon Kevlar Synchro Rings
Keys and Springs
Fork Pad Kit
Front and Rear Seals
Billet 1-2 Keys
Billet 3-4 Keys
Bronze, 1,2,3,4,5,6 & Rev, Shift Fork Pads
Bronze Shift Bushings
Steal 3-4 shift fork
Labor
Estimating also
26-spline input - $325
Billet TOB Sleve - $100
Any damaged Gears - $160-230 each
Shipping - there and back - $200
His estimate was $1,500 to $2,000
A Magnum is $3,000 new and most sellers have some sort of discount and free shipping. I should be able to get one for $2,800 delivered. I could also sell my damaged T-56 for a few hundred dollars. It's certainly still worth something even as a core.
Would the above rebuild be stronger then a Magnum? Advertisements list the Magnum at 700 ft/tq, I am currently at 605/544 and I don't see my self moving off that in the next 5 years.
