Who makes an adaptor plate for a t56? And which T56?
I need one and need to decide on which clutch and flywheel to buy...
Which T56? Didnt know if it mattered.. |
well the common uses of the t56 are in the gm vehicles( corvette, camaroo, firebird, gto etc); the mustang cobra, and of course the dodge viper. The differences are the torque ratings, and gear ratios. The viper tranny being able to handle the most torque. its uses a hydraulic clutch, except for the Cobra which is mechanical and hadsan 11 inch clutch disk. The entire case, including the bell housing, is made of aluminum. The synchromesh is made up of brass synchros for the GM and Ford applications, and stainless steel in the Dodge application.
the gm model handles 450ft/lb, where as the viper handles 600ft/lb. |
So would you go with the 04+ GTO or the Viper? If so, what year range viper?
|
depends and what your budget is, the viper will be more expensive. Id personally go with the viper, any year from 92-2007 has the same tranny, but try to get one from an 03-07, those are from the genIII viper. if you want to go better than that, then you can go with the tr6060 the updated verison or new t56, these are in the new vettes and new viper 08+.

Call Paul at Liberty Transmissions. He has adapter plates for the T56/FD. He also has the transmissions. Make sure you talk with Paul (last name has few vowels and ends in -ski).

i am a couple of weeks away from offering a T56/FD package. the adapter is complete and i will have something very trick for the FW clutch package along w a DS and drivetrain items.
sorry, but no more details until the setup is ready for roll out. this will happen and the engineering will be first class but will not be crazy priced. the T56 is a great trans for the FD. |

That's great to know because when I turbo my 20b in the future, I know gonna need to do a conversion as well. |
Found an adaptor plate...still need clutch/flywheel.
what about this? anything cheaper out there? http://www.lmperformance.com/18707/43.html i need one so i can get my motor balanced |
I have the Triple disk version of that clutch.. seems to like all the abuse i give it :) but not very streetable.
|
Cannot wait to see what FW clutch combo you have came up with...
Right now my only options are... Spec clutch twin or triple suck ass on the street Tilton ceramic single, twin ,triple suck ass on the street The best option so far for street and race but the most $$$ Triple carbon carbon tilton clutch at 4100.00 a pop... So yea will be nice to see what you have in terms of the clutch setup.....

I called Spec and they priced the clutch out at $1599 plus shipping. It is just a dual plate Rx7 clutch with the plate for a t56.
Any cheaper options out there? That is kinda pricey for a dual plate clutch. |
I'd love to see the outcome. I've gone through 2-trannys now, and I'm debating on JDM, Supra, or T-56 tranny . . .

Looking forward to Howard's kit.

I am also interested in a T56 setup, will it work with a exedy twin plate clutch?
|
Do you guys know of a clutch that is street-able with the T56? It's a sunday driver, and occasionally I'll be driving a few hours to shows.

Looking forward to Howard's kit. :icon_tup:
