Back in 2001 I put a GM 305 and a T5 in my 1987 Turbo. I'm happy with the engine, but would prefer a T56 tranny.

Can someone direct me to good photos of the undersides of FCs with T56 transmissions and their mounts?

TIA

 

Go visit Norotors.com tons of T56s in FCs

 

Thanks for that. I'll dig around in there.

 

im toying with the idea of putting a t56 in my FC with the rotary still in place. lets see how that comes along.

 

Why do you want to do that? I had a 1988 SE, and a 1987 Turbo. Both Mazda transmissions were fine in my experience.

The reason I am installing a T56 is because when I built the car with the V8 in 2000 I installed a T5. That was a mistake. Now 19 years later I am driving the car much more than I did the previous 18 years and need more overdrive. Also the T5 that is in it is making noise. Rather than rebuild the T5 I am installing a T56.

 

I can take pics for ya. What are you trying to see?

 

Rear transmission mounts that bolt to the original Mazda transmission mounting points. I'm looking for ideas how I might want to do this.

TIA

 

I’ll get under the Fc and snap a bunch as soon as I can.

 

The would be great. Thanks.

 

cus the stock t2 tranny is a pain in the ***. id rather have something that i know can be rebuilt with off the shelf parts.
