Available Options for Levels 2 & 3


Core Sourcing
If you don't currently have a six speed transmission in need of a rebuild, or if you simply can't afford the downtime associated with removing your transmission and sending it to us, letting us source a core for you may be your best bet. We'd much rather you find your own core and send it to us, but we offer this service for those of you who can't. For us to find a core for you, you must first call and make a deposit. We guarantee a core will be sourced for you within one month.

Price: $1000
This option can delay turnaround time for up to one month.

New Bearings


Suggested for all six speed transmissions with more than 120,000 miles on the clock, a set of new bearings will ensure that you get many more miles out of your T56. Lower mileage bearings usually do not cause failures and are normally reused, but this option is a good one for those wanting to take extra precaution against future failures.

Price (including labor): $160
This option will not delay turnaround time.

Powdercoated Case


A very popular option that we didn't offer until recently, powdercoating your transmission case will ensure that your transmission looks brand new when it returns to you. We offer our very durable powdercoating in two colors: black or silver.

Price (including labor): $200
This option will add 3-4 days to turnaround time.

26 Spline Input Shaft


From Ford, 03-04 Cobras came with a 10 spline input shaft that has proven to be the weak link in the drivetrain time and time again. During a rebuild, consider this upgrade a must-do if you do any racing at all.

Price (including labor): $319.99
This option will not delay turnaround time.

Billet Throwout Bearing Guide Tube


From Ford, 03-04 Cobras came with a stamped steel guide tube that always seems prone to breakage. During a rebuild, we highly suggest upgrading to this billet steel tube so you never have to worry about breakage again.

Price (including labor): $99.99
This option will not delay turnaround time.

GM Overdrive Conversion


The GM overdrive conversion is a good idea for those of you who use 1-4 gears to get going, and 5-6 gears to cruise. This swap changes the 5-6 gear ratios from your original .79 and .63 over to the less aggressive .74 and .50 that the F-Bodies come factory with.

Price (including labor): $449.99
This option will not delay turnaround time.

Cryogenic Treatment


Suggested for those of you making big power and wanting to avoid parts failure of any kind. This process involves dropping the temperature of your T56 internals to hundreds of degrees below zero. This results in a more uniform distribution of hardness, dramatic increase in wear resistance, and reduced residual stresses (along with many other benefits!) Technically, it doesn't make the metal itself any stronger, but by distributing the strength uniformly, the end product significantly stronger. For example, picture one chain where all of the links in the chain can lift 1000 pounds - except for one. One link can only lift 700 pounds. This is the same as an untreated gear; it will shatter at the weak point when you push it to the limit. Now picture a chain where all the links can lift 1000 pounds. This is like the treated gear, it will be able to handle much more abuse. Practically every hard part inside your T56 will be cryotreated, including:

  • 1-6 Gears
  • Shift Rails
  • Mainshaft
  • All Synchronizer Assemblies
  • All Shift Forks

Price (including labor): $350
This option will add 3-4 days to turnaround time.

REM (R) Polishing


Suggested for anybody wanting to get every last drop of performance out of their T56. The REM two-step procedure is more of a finishing process than a polishing process. The first step, referred to as the "Refinement Process", involves a chemical interaction on the surface of the part. A soft, thin (one micron) film is formed on the surface of the part. The part then interacts with the ceramic media in a special vibratory bowl. During this interaction the film is physically removed from the "peaks" of the processed part and the "valleys" are unaffected. The chemically induced film re-forms only at the peaks that are interacting with the vibratory media, and the process repeats itself. Over time, the peaks are removed, leaving only the valleys, producing the improved micro finish. The second step is referred to as the "Burnish Process." After the required micro finish is achieved, a mild alkaline mixture is introduced. After a relatively short period of time, a polished, chrome-like finish is produced. In addition to the polishing effects, this step effectively removes all traces of the film formation from the refinement process. Typical benefits from this process are:

  • Reduced Friction, Vibration and Noise
  • Improved Shifting
  • Longer Life
  • Less Parasitic Drivetrain Loss
  • Reduction in Transmission Lubricant Temperature

We REM Polish only the 1-6 gears in the transmission as well as all of the Synchronizer Assemblies. These are the only internal parts that would benefit from this process.

Price (including labor): $250
This option will add 3-4 days to turnaround time.

Faceplated Gearset


Suggested for all manually shifted racecars, faceplating is a procedure very similar to proshifting, but much more durable and longer lasting. Faceplating completely eliminates the possibility of missing a shift by removing the stock synchronizers and opening up the engagement window for faster, higher rpm shifting. This is definitely the way to go if you have a T56 in your racecar and you're looking for the quickest shifts possible. Due to the harsh nature of this process, we do not recommend this option for cars that see any street driving.

Price (including labor): $650
This option will add 1-2 weeks to turnaround time.
Due to their design, we do not warranty any faceplated transmissions.

Removal & Reinstall


Those of you that are local and don't want to remove your own transmission, you can have us do all of the dirty work for you. Contact us to schedule an appointment to drop the car off for a transmission rebuild and we'll handle the job completely from beginning to end.

Price (for labor): $200
You will need to drop the car off for a minimum of 3 days.
We do not encourage customers to drive long distances and wait on the car for a myriad of reasons. Your best bet is to ship the transmission to us if you aren't local.
