A tranny story (t56)

So i picked up a tr6060 trans from a wrecked 2011 challenger srt8. I want to switch it to a t56 magnum style for shifter location. The challenger input shaft is the one year only 11 spline.

Yes i could of bought a brand new t56 magnum. I have had this trans trapped on opposite side of border since covid started :-(.

I scrounged up most of the parts for this swap. Only thing is the shift rail that i still have to source or machine my own.

Plan is to put it into the dart when i cram the 400 stroker in.


I got an LS t56 magnum input shaft for the 2.97 first gear, T56 magnum mainshaft and tailhousing with shifter. Unsure if i needed the LS midplate but it was available so i jumped on it.20211208_154606.jpg


Alot of people have posted dissassembly procedures before but i will document what i am up to.

Here is the patient. I have already taken the shifter off at this point but photographs always help later.20211208_150431.jpg

So lets get this trans upright to start dissassembly i already removed the driveshaft flange with an 1 1/4 socket. Removethe tailhousing bolts20211208_153824.jpg
