T56 Swap

[kat kat]

I was wondering whats needed for a T56 swap into my 04 Mach 1, and would and 03/04 Cobra T56 work......??????

drive shaft, t56 crossmember, bellhousing im guessing...

and you need to extend a couple wires, the speed sensor and reverse sensors are in different spots opposed to the 5spd...just curious, but why you going to a 6spd?

Do you have to have a driveshaft custom made since we have solid axle and the Cobra has the IRS?

when i had a 6 spd, i used a cobra ds with a jegs spacer

im already on my 2nd 3650 and it just started scrapping 3rd and ive had my Mach for 3years, I have a Steeda Tri Ax on it... Im getting ready to replace the clutch, so im thinking about going with a T56 because they are a lil stronger than the 3650's...

understandable. i went to a t56 too cuz i was breaking 3650's left and right...the 56 was def stronger but its weighs a shitload more and 5th in a 3650 and 6th in a t56 are the same ratio(if you use a cobra tranny). i dont know if you drag race much but you lose alot with a 6spd if youre an N/A guy cuz first gear i think is a 2.60? and the 5spd is a 3.30 first gear. just a little to think about before you do it thats all. now im using a faceplated TKO...not trying to rain on anyones parade but only trying to help

You need the t56, bellhousing, shifter, T56 crossmember, T56 DS, IRS Pinion flange or a F150 pinoin Flange, Or just get a U joint that will work with the stock SRA flange and the T56 DS. The only wires i had to F with was for the Rev lock out. I just grounded one wire and the other wire ran to the brake light switch on the pedle to send power to go in Rev when you hit the brakes. I wouldnt waste your time with a stock T56. They break easy to. Go with a built one with a 26spline setup. oh and i never had a problem with my 3650 but never went to the track. Just so fun on Sat nights.

? You must really beat the sh!t out of those transmissions. Im the second owner, bought it with 30k miles and I have 87k now, plenty of daily driving and racing legal and illegal:shrug: and my stock 3650 on the stock clutch is just as smooth as the day I bought it.

Makes 2 of us until i sold it because i have bigger plans then what the 3650 will hold and i got a GREAT deal on a built T56.

I'm going T-56 as well. but the guy I'm buying off of had the T-56 and SRA already hooked up. so pretty much my set up is plug and play . good luck with your decision man.
