What broke on the trans you know of?

oh i woulda thought the tremec would hold more power than a stock t56. Im not exactly sure, a lot of people on my local f body board have had problems with theres, ill have to see what eactly breaks.

I am sure you will find the typical damged items with a search for a t56. 3-4 broken or bent shift fork, stamped keys bending, and plastic shift pads breaking and falling ff the fork.

An uograded shift fork is about $90, billet keys are about $70, and the bronze shift pads are about $90.

They solve all the problems from abusive shifting. As far as breaking anything will in a gear, that just doesn't happen excpet for what I mentioned in my last post.
