For 13b engines from a fd3s it would work if the rear plate is from a automatic rx7. But for any 13re engines or 20b it would work perfectly with current set up. We are working in creating another design to accommodate the 13b 5 speed conversion to t56. Also wanted to let everybody know that the bellhousing would be a bolt on to the t56 magnum not sure if it would bolt on to the standard t56. Also I have a torque arm to make the conversion to the standard t56 that it's brand new never used! I payed 300 for it would let it go for 280. I'm not going to use it. Also I will be posting some of the pics probably tonite of the bellhousing bolt on to the t56 magnum. I will be posting pics in my friends mini me 20b rx7 831hp I will provide link. It's also here at the 20b forum.

what other parts are you going to offer? perhaps a trans brace and shift linkage.

This may be silly question but with this setup do you have to run a different flywheel/clutch setup than stock? Is it a custom flywheel along with a clutch made for a T56?

Thanks

you will need a push type clutch instead of the standard pull type with a 26 spline input. The bolt pattern and diameter of the flywheel is the same as before because you are using a fd starter but it must mate up to your new clutch. check with chips motorsports or quarter master.

I didn't realize so many people were having trouble putting T56's in FD's. I'll post pics of my T56 swap in a day or so. I'll put a link to my build thread in here.

my swap uses all off the shelf parts that are readily avalible and I retained my 5 speed rear iron. I've had the trans in my car since last June and It was purchased used from a friend that had it in his FD for over 2 years. again, all store bought parts with SFI aproved scatter shield. those of you that were at the Chris Carlissi memorial BBQ last summer got to see the install.

i have a brand new torque bar for a t56 FD install. i payed 325 shipped i will sell it for $280 brand new never been installed. Just wont work for me with the t56 magnum.

Yes they will be offering a complete kit torque bar, transmission brace, shifter ect. i will keep you all posted.

Anyone want to see if we can get a Group Buy going on T56 Magnums? If we have enough interest, I'd say around 5, I'll contact them, and get something setup here in the GB section.

Treme the manufacturer of t56 have a very strict rule for all their dealer that they can't sell the t56 for less than a specific price set by Tremec. Tremec requires dealers to provide them with invoices for all Tremec sold and the price can't be less than their set price. The dealer I am curretly working with advice me of such and I confirmed it with Tremec they would not sell anybody a transmission directly unless u are a Tremec dealer. I can talk to The dealer I purchased mine from and we can create a group buy and he can go as low as he can sell them. Contact me if interested

So basically all you really need is flywheel, disk, and pressure plate from a FC+RX8 which is a push type? If I remember correctly the input shaft is a 26 spline as well(or is it a 24?)?

Just checked it out, looks like I was wrong. It's actually 23spline if I counted correctly so...

If anybody has a automatic bellhousing from 93-up or RE engine or 3 rotor, please let me know. I am working with a company to develop a SFI bellhousing that will bolt on t56 magnum and also to the 3rotor without any modifications but they made a prototype an it was too small. They are asking me to provide them with an automatic bellhousing to measure it to create the SFI one. If anybody interested feel free to contact me.

You do know the 20B And 13B Cosmo are a little different, right?

okay so I got the automatic bell housing ( shaved .25 inches off the back)and used Howard Coleman's plate ( which is a great product by the way) after a little modification to let the areas of the magnum t56 protrude through the adapter plate. the problem that I have now is that the input shaft is too short to go into the pilot bearing. I wonder if anyone else has had this problem? bewtew maybe? did you have to get a longer input shaft? or what can i do? here are a few pics of my issue.

What is the height of the bellhousing? It looks like you may have a 20b bellhousing vs the 13b one. The 20b is a deeper bellhousing.

rotorooter93fd

iTrader: (6)

sadly I dont know the height its up at the shop I can take some measurements and more pics tomorrow. do you want the diameter of the bell housing or do you want the distance from the face of the bell houising to where it bolts to the adapter plate?

IronMdnX

iTrader: (1)

5.75" machined height, if I remember correctly. I can't verify till Monday.

rotorooter93fd

iTrader: (6)

should it be about the same height as the manual trans bell housing?

IronMdnX

iTrader: (1)

yes

rotorooter93fd

iTrader: (6)

I called the shop and they said the bell housing is approximately 7.75 inches deep and thats after having .25 shaved off the back. so new its was probably 8 inches.

It is a 20b bellhousing then. You need an FD or 13bre auto bellhousing
