Call Exedy, I'm not sure if they make a 26 spline hub.

sorry to ask so many questions. I just dont want to drop my whole paycheck on something I couldn't use. I was able to find a t56 from a 2002 trans am which im told is identical to the camaro (makes sense they are both f-bodies) my questions is if the camaro/TA t56 wont handle shifting at higher rpms like the gto tranny can I have it rebuilt with the tripple syncros or will i just have to toss it and find a gto tranny?

also i called exedy and its looking like a no go for a 26 spline hub for a twin carbon disc. they told me they produce one for a tripple but no twin discs.

To upgrade to tripple synchros you have a couple options
Buy a used corvette or cts-v tranny and gto output shaft install the internals in the camaro case. You can either gearset from the Corvette (2.66 or 2.99)
to update it further you can use a SSR output shaft and need to do some machine work.

Resurrecting this old thread. I'm running a stock transmission in 20B powered FD. It's time to upgrade.... Is there a kit available to do this yet? Is the T56 still considered the best option?

Hello,

What kind of pilot bearing do you use? I'm swapping an auto to t56 and there was no bearing (obviously).

Thanks!
