[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 10503614, member: 20202"] If the T-56 450 hp rating was accurate then there would be scores of Terminators up on jack stands and lots of post from unhappy owners moaning about the T-56. In reality you just don't hear this as being a weak link in the drive train. Switching from the 10 spline input shaft to a 26 spine shaft is what is largely responsible for the increase in torque rating. Considering what these cars are capable of the T-56 is a pretty impressive gear box. There is always one or two in the group with think its the transmission's fault whenever they break something. [U]Treat the T-56 right and you will never break it even at elevated power levels[/U]. I read a review on the T-56 Magnum and what I found was the syncros were upgraded and narrowed to accommodate somewhat wider gears and it probably has bronze shifting forks instead of steel with nylon thrust faces. Other then that I did not hear of any changes that made the Magnum vastly stronger. The only reason I would upgrade to a Magnum is for improved shifting action. The T-56 is pretty notchy but failures in these cars are pretty rare. The price of the magnum is not too expensive but to upgrade the T-56 is probably cheaper. If you drag race a lot and place reliability high on the priority list then a automatic is a better choice :xpl:………chances are you will break that too :nonono: [/QUOTE]
