Aren there different T56 transmissions out there?
Yep, there sure are. The T56 is available in ’93 and newer F-bodies (F-bodies are Camaros, Firebirds, and Trans-Ams), ’97+ Corvettes, and all Dodge Vipers. Our choice is a complete tranny from a ’94+ F-body. Here’s why: the ’93 F-body T56 has less desirable gear ratios, and is only rated at 350 lb/ft of torque, while the ’94+ T56 is rated at 450 lb/ft. Additionally, the Corvette uses a different bellhousing, I believe, and may not share the same case. They are also not as common as the F-bodies. Besides, if it comes from a ‘vette it always seems to cost more!! The Viper transmission has larger input and output shafts, and a different bolt pattern. Also, the shifter is located several inches farther forward.
