Tremec t56 swap into 01 GT?
#12
i got my hands on a 03 cobra t56 trans with 50k miles on it for 1500... it comes with bell housing and a clutch.... all i will need is the cross member and to rewire the harness for the lock out? does anyone have a write up on how to do this? also is it true i need to change the yoke on the drive shaft?
#13
You dont have to wire the lockout up. I didnt when I installed my t56. The only thing it will do is make it hard to push into reverse. You do need the yoke. The transmissions have a different amount of splines on the output.

ok... aluminum drive shaft from 2003 cobra with 26 spline yoke just arrived today along with the crossmember..... the transmission should be here tomorrow along with the clutch and flywheel..... i would like to rewire the lockout since im doing all of this if possible.... any write ups on it?

ok i could be a little confused. first off, i am pretty sure the input shaft on the t-56 is 10 spline, im not sure what you keep breaking on the 3650s but the input shaft would be the weak point in the t-56 tranny. Second, im also pretty sure the output shaft on the tranny to the driveshaft is 31 spline? in either case when i did mine the factory splined gt shaft fits, i just had to have it shortened 1 inch since the t-56 is longer. Honestly i left the reverse lockout unwired, i like having to force it into reverse, means i dont have to worry one bit about somehow gettin it in there by accident.

some people upgrade to a 26spline input shaft. My output is 31 spline aswell. I plan on wiring the reverse lockout to a switch this weekend since my tranny is out right now from a bad throwout bearing. Thats one thing ive learned on these cars. Never ever put cheap parts on a car where they are hard to replace!

sadly buying good parts doesnt save you from premature failing...lol i bought a center force when i did my swap. 500 miles on the nose i went to the track made 2 runs third run the pressure plate failed. had to pull tranny, missed the burnout comp that was the next day. and then i got a replacement, and now it has about 10 thousand miles on it but i dont think its working right. so i wouldnt be surprised if it doesnt hold up to my supercharger.
#19
Thats true. I actually have a $125 clutch with my $4000 transmission, and its running grat. i think its kinda funny that i spent so much money on the tranny and so little on the clutch. However I do plan on going dual disc as soon as I finish my motor and put it in. (whenever thatll be)
