Sorry to hear that Bill, seems kind of early for the tranny to let go.

I've heard nothing but good things about the T56 Magnum, maybe look into one of those.

Ryan,
Did you modify your tunnel when you put the T-56 in your car?

No tunnel mods, just had to cut the shifter hole further back. Mine is a standard T56 from an 2002 Camaro. I recently rebuilt it with a stage II kit from the Gearbox Co. And installed a new Spec Stage 3+ clutch

For the money I spent rebuilding it I should have just gone with the T56 Magnum.

Yes ATS X-member, stock subframe. Your Speedtech frame should be fine. I'd check with Blake.

Bill, if you swap to a T56 Magnum, be sure to get some measurements on where the shifter will end up being located. It is about three inches further forward on a Magnum than an LS1 F Body T56. Not sure how those compare to a TKO. You might end up having to redo part of your center console, so be careful.

Matt

The speedtech frame has a pretty neat adjustable cross member, you shouldn't have any problems.

That's what's in my car now.
