Learned today that theres way more than just one type of T56.. there's the f-body one (in newer Camaros for example).. the "viper" T56 and the "aftermarket T56"
Tremec sent me the aftermarket version which is great for bolting up to a SBC but not so much for an LS2. The input shaft is longer and as such I have to use a different bell and a host of other issues like no VSS output.
Jeff at Classic Chevy 5-speed saved my bacon by swapping it for a normal T56. Very nice of him to do.
However Im a bit bummed that it will have the .50 6th gear which makes it useless for anything except mileage. If I had know I would have gotten steeper rear gears rather than the 3.70s I got (3.90's ?).. Someday when I have it rebuilt I will change the gearing.
Oh, the T56 is smoother shifting compared to a TKO and it goes into reverse easier.
