t56
i've got a friend that can make a t56 adaptor plate for the fc 13b and 13bt so u can bolt up the t56 trans. he's been doing trans work forever and does alot of custom projects. he could also make a plate to fit a n/a 5spd trans on a small block chevy for swaps. would any one be interested?
|
prices, comparison of tranny sizes. what kind of custom work is needed.
|
It might not fit. It does fit with an LS1 swap, but the LS1's crank sits lower than the rotary e-shaft, so on the 13B application, the tranny will sit higher in the tunnel, so it likely won't fit.
|
is an adapter to put a 13b bell housing on a T56 tranny? because i dont thing the bell housing on a T56 will be adaptable to a 13Bspecially that the T56 bell housing doesnt have a starter mounting hole. it would be great if you give some more details on it, i would like to put a 6 speed tranny on my car.
|
yes 6 speed and those t56's car take some abuse!! I use to have borg warner t5 in my 86 turbo 300z and man did that old tranny take some punishment.
|
i dont know the details but he said if he saw/got specs on both parts he could make it, he is the owner of a transmition shop and has 3 2g rx7s one with the motor curently in the rebuild state. hes done some crazy stuff he converted a old station wagon to 4wd and other crazy projects like that so i trust him.
|
I would be all about this adapter, BUT everyone whos interested needs to make sure theyl like the new gear ratios.
ALSO a t56 is a good bit heavier than our boxes http://www.5speedtransmissions.com/gear_calculator.html t56 (some have different ratios) First 2.97:1, Second 2.07:1, Third 1.43:1, Forth 1.00:1, Fifth 0.80:1, Sixth 0.62:1, Reverse 3.28:1 or Borg Warner 6sp T-56 Gear Ratios 1st 2.66:1 2nd 1.78:1 3rd 1.30:1 4th 1.00:1 5th 0.74:1 6th 0.50:1 RX-7 Turbo 87-91 3.483 2.015 1.391 1.000 0.719 |
the t56 is the jam! the gear ratio's are perfect IMHO... but mainly if you have enough power to really make use of it.
|
how much?
|
hell yah. I've been wanting to install a t56 in my seven since I bought it. Don't worry about the gear ratios and get a lower ring an pinion (4.33 or 4.8ish) that will take up the difference in trans ratios.
|
I love the T56/M12 tranny...its awesome. I would love to put one in my 7, but no money, so ill run the stock one till its done, and then possibly change it.
|
zomfgs!
I'd buy one right now if you can guarentee fitament TII trannies are shit. |
i'd be interested. It looks like the 2nd gear is kinda tall though for any roadracing scenario.
