[QUOTE="HLN A55, post: 9645, member: 46"] if i'm not mistaken there are some other issues with the Chev version of the T-56: 1. The aluminum shift forks were prone to bending under hard service. This also causes issues with the plastic synchro's obviously and causing gears to grind. Interestingly, Chrysler ordered the steel shift forks for their Viper service. 2. There are teflon wear pads used on a few surfaces and over time, they wear and loose their ability to provide a resistance-free surface. In addition to the carbon synchro's i also had to upgrade the shift forks and remove the teflon pads and replace with brass/bronze... I can't remember now the details... it's been a while since i had all the work done. I also had to replace a number of the actual gears due to the damage caused by the bent 3-4 and 5-6 shift forks... The full tranny upgrade with the clutch was ~5000 including labor if I remember correctly but it was probably a bit more LOL [/QUOTE]
