T56 swap

[98 Trans-am]

My 4l60e in my 98 trans am died and I want to do the t56 swap. I need any and all parts. I need a good used t56 for a reasonable price. I also need pedals, slave cylinder, m6 console, and anything else needed.

Get me a parts list of what you need and I'll get you a price. I'm about 6 hours away and would be willing to meet half way for a fee.

I need the pedal assembly, shifter, clutch, flywheel, and t56 transmission, 6 speed torque arm and bracket, 6 speed crossmember, flywheel cover, pressure plate, master/slave clutch cylinder. I think thats about all but if theres anything else you know of that i need for the swap let me know.

Are the driveshafts the same? And you'll need the console and shifter boots. My console is missing the lid, but other than that in good shape. What about the PCM? Can you reprogam yours or will you need mine?

If I pull some body panels, doors, and maybe some interior, I would sell the car for $3300. You would get a rolling car with motor, trans, pcm, and full supension. And it would have everything you need except the lid to the console.

Or if you want, once we figure out everything you need I will work on a price for just parts. But looks like it will be around $2k

the pcm will need to be reprogrammed..he does not need yours.

sorry OP but 2k isnt that bad for that type of swap..you didn't expect it to be cheaper did you ? this is why it is easier to just sell your car and buy a t56 or at least save up your money and piece it together

how much for just the complete transmission

[blackcar]

$1750 for trans, after-market hurst shifter, and skip-shift eleminator. It has 65k miles on it and is stock except for the two items mentioned above.

[98 Trans-am]

would you take 1000 without the shifter and i come pick it up?

Not unless you can tell me a good reason why. $1750 for the trans I'm throwing the shifter and skip-shift for free. I did a quick search the other day and the CHEAPEST t-56 I could find was a rebuilt unit for $1850+shipping+core.

ok you said about 2k for everything needed for my swap? That's sounding more and more reasonable

I didn't think it was a bad price. But I wasn't 100% sure.

[98 Trans-am]

Yeah i was just trying to talk you down haha. So lets get a parts list and see how much its gonna be. I need the trans, shifter, boot, console, flexplate, pressure plate, bell housing, pedals, master slave clutch cylinder, 6 speed crossmember, 6 speed torque arm and bracket. Pretty much everything from the 6 speed needed for my conversion

[blackcar]

I'll make you a deal. You come to my house and I'll help you pull anything off you want (we can use my tools). What ever part we pull off we will look up on GMPartsdirect.com and you pay half what they have it listed for.

BYOB I like Cap'in n Coke

[98 Trans-am]

And you think itll be about 2000?

[98 Trans-am]

i live in Savannah, TN so im pretty far away

[blackcar]

And you think itll be about 2000?

Should be close.

[98 Trans-am]

is the transmission already removed

[blackcar]

No everything is still in car.

[98 Trans-am]

so the 2000 is for everything needed including transmission
