A tranny story (t56)
Ouch. Found a place selling most of the parts and even without the main shaft I am at $1200. Even just the mid-plate and input shaft are $700. Tailhousing was $500 by itself.
Even with the cheapest (and most reasonable) used TR6060 I can find for $1515, I am $125 more than a new T56 Magnum. That's with just doing the input shaft conversion so I can use an off the self bellhousing and after I add in the additional parts due to the shifter and output flange.
