T-56 info needed

[svtrickey]

I am looking to buy a t-56 tranny tomorrow that's said to be in good working order pulled from a 03 cobra he is going auto. What/how am I to look over the tranny to make sure everything checks out? And isn't broken? It's not in the car.

Will he let you open it?

Check for play, but really all you can check if for shifting issues.

I would suggest you rebuild it before putting it in your car...

That is a roll of the dice IMO

What's it cost for a standard rebuilt? Or something that will allow me to have 700rwhp

I went the magnum route and will never look back. Sold my t56 for it. 2800 to my door. Money well spent IMO. I don't have any knowledge on rebuilds so I can't help you out there. But let's say the used tranny you're buying is 1200, you rebuild it for another 800, 300 for the 28 spline input shaft, etc. I would just go with the magnum. Hope I could help!
