[QUOTE="Dave.O, post: 15641064, member: 162285"] Just completed swapping the stock T45 for a T56 in my 99 Cobra. here is a summary for anyone considering this: [LIST=1] [*]You will need at T56 bell housing, I got mine from promotion performance $180, ask for Walt. You will also need appropriate trans to bellhousing bolts, I just picked up some grade 8's at a hardware store [*]You will need a suitable drive shaft, I could not find any available used so I went with promotion performance. 560$ aluminum with 1350 Ujoints and appropriate yokes, once again talk to Walt. [*]you will need an 03/04 pinion flange, not only is it wider and thicker but the male portion which goes into diff appeared longer. got mine from AM $50. [*]I had to swap reverse light sensor to T56 from T45, pins are different. I also had to extend wires by 12" for the harness to reach passenger side. [*]Speed sensor (VSS) is in same location and uses same connector. [*]Throw out bearing and clutch fork are the same. [*]reverse lock out: I used this module from samoco: $100 [URL]http://www.samocoind.com/T56MODULE.html[/URL]. install was straight forward, and I spliced into existing #15 fuse. I did not want to splice into brakes as I try to heel toe (poorly) when tracking. Connector: AC delco 12101857. $12 from summit. [/LIST] Overall, the install was very straight forward, if you can install a clutch you can complete this swap. [/QUOTE]
