I just checked ebay and there going for $600 and up. I understand your concern but that's something really cheap for a more direct fit. If I didn't have plans to eventually turbo my 20b, I would go with the Rx8 tranny without question. I just wish it had a taller 6th gear for the highway.

T56 magnum ratios
Is there anywhere where you can get custom gear rations for the T56? Id love to swap one for its strength, but for my application I will be making significantly less power, and really have zero interest in the double overdrives. Id like to have tighter more closely spaced gears, with 5th more towards 1:1 and and 6th somewhere around .8x. Just wondering if thats a possibility, because in searching I havent found anything.
here are the ratios available for the T56 Magnum
Tremec Magnum Transmission Gear Ratios
Magnum Ratios
Part Number 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th Reverse
2.66 1.78 1.30 1.00 0.80 0.63 2.90
2.97 2.10 1.46 1.00 0.74 0.50 2.90
2.66 1.78 1.30 1.00 0.80 0.63 2.90
2.97 2.10 1.46 1.00 0.74 0.50 2.90
2.66 1.78 1.30 1.00 0.80 0.63 2.90
2.97 2.10 1.46 1.00 0.74 0.50 2.90
They are all interchangeable so you can select which 1st gear, which 2nd gear and so on. Also you should consider the diff perhaps a 4.30 or a 4.44 from a RX8. Hope this helps. feel free to post any other questions.

bellhousing
They are making progress on the bell housing. They already had created one but the circumference was a little bit off, so they are recreating it as we speak. Should be done soon. Also wanted to see if anybody would be interested in creating a group buy for several T56 Magnum transmissions. I spoke to the guy that is working with me in this project and he said if we can come up with at least 5-10 transmission he can give us a good deal and free shipping and handling to US. If anybody is interested let start a list here and i will check what I can do depending on the amount. Also i have a torque bar for a t56 GTO conversion for FD brand new that im not using, if anybody is interested let me know.

Have you solved the issue of the shifter being 4 inches short of the hole in the transmission tunnel if the engine's rear plate sits in the stock location.
I am in the middle of this exact swap and had to find an interesting solution.

The project still moving forward but making some changes to make it a easier installation. Working with sponsors and providers to make the best option available to the rotary community for transmission swap.

Gearbox
Hi Mate
I have been following your thread for a while. I have two questions, Firstly, Do you need to change your diff and clutch in order to install a T56 magnum gearbox? Secondly, You mentioned about the bolt on kit, did you actually mean that, it would be a plug and play? or minor mods would be required to fully install the kit?
The reason I am asking these questions are because, I have a 20b FD and I am considering T56 magnum gearbox.
The relevant modifications to my car includes the following;
The 20b Engine was pushed back for weight distribution purposes,
The Engine is mounted on to the Stock FD gearbox as I am still considering other options.
I have a Kaaz 1.5 Super Q Diff
By looking at the list above, do you think that I would need to modify something (above) in order to install T56 Magnum set up
?
Cheers
Sid

i will be running he Kazz differential, with 1000hp axles. Yes the clutch need to be changed because the clutch center hub is different from the input shaft of the t56 magnum. Yes i working with several companies to complete a bolt on kit. Yes we are working on a plug and play kit.
the kit will bring the t56 transmission, clutch kit, transmission mount, drive-shaft, and any other parts needed.
