A tranny story (t56)

Most of these parts were bought just as the t56 magnum F was being introduced. Parts from the magnums were readily available at the time.

At this price. Someone could buy a new t56 magnum direct from Tremec. $3295. Unless they find other bargains for the pieces needed. I could of stayed with the challenger midplate and input shaft, but the one year only clutch splines worried me.

In the end I love tearing into stuff and making work what i want. I probably had more fun than going on a vacation somehwere.

I should also state that the wife didnt see one big purchase she only saw small purchases spread out so it didnt hurt as bad ;-) (funds came from scrap metal collecting so no bank accounts were hurt in this fun)
