crazy longhorn · 09-08-2003, 11:09 PM

LOL! 7 gears , if you are counting reverse

Thats a T56 in Fleetside dream's truck.....mine is running a Richmond overdrive

crazyL

Ackattack · 09-08-2003, 11:33 PM

I guess I'm in the 6 speed club too! Though I only got 3 in the truck.

67fleet, I have that exact shift knob in my car!

I used the bellhousing that came with my 3 speed on the tree. It is cast iron. I used the entire stock clutch assembly. None of the hydraulic stuff.
Here is the part# and gear ratios
Model no. Size Weight lbs/kg Torque cap GVW/GCW Ratios - 1st - 6th & Rev.

1386-000-011 85 115-129/52.2-58.5 450/610 3,327/1,509 2.97 2.07 1.43 1.00 0.8 0.62 3.28

Ackattack I have that shift ball also, just can't find it....

Oh and by the way that is a Tri Ax shifter made by Steeda. They go in mustangs and it is the shortest throw shifter that can be bought for the T56.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-09-2003, 12:27 PM

The overdrive gear ratios are incredible! Bet that is a blast.

crazy longhorn · 09-09-2003, 12:53 PM

looks like a nice fit.....I bet that .62 6th really lets the eng loaf on the hyway! What did you have for driveline mods/slipyolk, ect? crazyL

*67Fleetsidedream* · 09-09-2003, 03:43 PM

yeah with the rpms at 70 being at about 1950, It has just a little trouble going up steep inclines.

I used the slip yoke off of my 3 speed and had the driveline shortened I think it was 5 1/2 inches. It has been about 8 months since the install.

I just wanted everyone to see that it is possible to put a Tremec T56 6 speed in your truck.

Jim68 · 09-09-2003, 04:01 PM

How much did it cost? I'd LOVE to do this with my truck.

*67Fleetsidedream* · 09-09-2003, 04:24 PM

The tranny cost me $2500.00 modiefied with the adapter plate. My truck came from the factory with a 3 speed Saginaw, so I had all the pedals and linkage already in place. I bought a new clutch plate and had the drive shaft shortened. All in all I would say it cost me right around $2800.00. I did a ton of research before I bought it.

imaindianoutlaw · 09-09-2003, 08:22 PM

Want one for behind my 428! What hp and torque can they handle? 500+/500+ ?
