Long story short. He found a guy that knew what he was doing with the T-56. This guy has a C5 Z06 that he drag races and worked at a Chevy dealer. He took the car into the dealer and $2700 later he got the car back. The guy completely rebuilt the tranny. There are plastic and steel parts that got replaced with brass. There are a whole buch of little parts, that if the person knows Tremec's, they know these things can and will fail.

My friend is pretty abusive to the car. He now has about 15,000 miles on the trans rebuild and it shifts much better than any T-56 I've ever drove.

Oh, he did a clutch at the same time too and that is a good idea if you still have the stock clutch. That was included in the 2700 price. Go to something that can handle more power.

any chance you can provide a list of what was done so i can ask shops in cali if they can do mine the same? and hopefully same price if not cheaper.
