I would go with the TR6060 from Jordan considering its not too far off from the price of a T56. They are very stout and would be more than enough for your goals. If you do decide a T56 I recommend you do atleast a stage 2 build: CF/kevlar synchros, viper 3-4 shift fork, billet keys, bronze pads, etc.. If you have the extra money you could do a stage 3 which would include the beefy viper input and output shaft but my stage 2 held up fine to my 600whp LS S13.
I rebuilt my T56 2 years ago, they are notorious for being stuck in gear whether it be from a bent shift fork or broken stamped keys. The price of the upgrade parts are not super expensive. Including a whole rebuild kit it will be around 5-600 but for that and including the trans you can't go wrong with the TR6060 Jordan is offering. PM me if you have any LS questions, I'm currently building a 1000whp GT4788 LSx in my S13. |

UPDATE TIME... well, kind of
![]() More so an informational update, but I'll toss a of couple pics in there to make it pretty. I finally found a TR6060 that is going to be mine. The trans that Jeff was suggesting didn't work out, but it worked out for the better because I found one for cheaper anyway. I still want to thank Jeff for trying to get me hooked up and for opening my eyes to how cheap the TR6060's really are. So I typically Google for TR6060's every few nights with little luck. Either it's a trans that was for sale 2 years ago or something that is overpriced... or just no results at all. Well, I came across a WTB thread on Camaro5.com. I figured I would check to see what luck, if any, the guy was having finding one. Very first reply a guy said he had one that he was selling along with the OEM clutch, hydraulics, OEM pedals, Hurst shifter etc. He wanted $2000 + shipping for everything. Basically he was switching over to an automatic 4L80E for the drag strip... he has a 900whp 5th gen Camaro that was just built. So I promptly become a member on Camaro5 as fast as my man fingers could slap the keyboard. As I go to click on his username to send him a PM, I realize that the dude lives in the same damn town as me... Normal, IL. I thought to myself, you have to be shitting me! Bloomington/Normal is a little over 100,000 people... so it's not that big. So I end up talking to the guy and the trans is on the east coast where the car was built. But he said he could do everything for $2000 shipped. So I'll have some extra parts that I can hopefully part out for a few bucks. So it looks as though I need to order up that Monster clutch. As far as pics, nothing major as I have been waiting to post them in a substantial update. But I'm here, so I might as well toss up a couple pics from a couple months ago. I finally found some black fuel rails. The Black Label ones that I planned on going with have seem to be discontinued. But lucky me Katech just released some a few months back. They are simply FAST rails made for Katech in a black color... and believe or it not the price isn't jacked up just because it says Katech on them. I also finished all of my hoses including the power steering hoses. Note: the power steering hoses, heater hoses and oil filter hoses will get fastened to the block, frame rail etc to keep them where I want them. I just need to figure out what type of clamps I want to go with. I won't do that until the hose ends are actually crimped on though. I also got my harness from Chase on there, but I don't have the coil pack sub harness plugged in yet in these pics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Toby...I would like you to know in upset that you haven't posted an update on your landscaping projects, yet you post a car update.
By the way, Truman has been melting my face off at the house with his swamp-a$$! |

So is my basement flooded yet? I can only assume you cleaned my liquor cabinet out!?! I was also hoping you could just go ahead and do all of the chassis wiring on my 240 while you are house sitting ![]() |

I would have texted you already if the basement flooded. All is good on that front but I did have a crack at the wiring.
Were all those yellow labels on the harness suppose to stay on? I took a few of them off to get to the wiring underneath. I called James and he gave me some pointers, cause his DSM is pretty similar to your car. And believe it or not I haven't touched anything in the liquor cabinet. I'm on a few antibiotics and steroids for the whole "face-not-working-properly" thing so I'd rather not have a seizure in front of Wilson. |

You'll hate manual brakes with stock calipers, but I don't think it'll be dangerous right out of the gate (unless they actually leak).
Glad to see you're making progress and got a TR6060!

I'm on my second Wilwood Clutch MC, and it leaks again too. Wilwood's email is down so I'll be calling them Tuesday in regard to it leaking internally. Sucks.
BTW: Those engine bay pictures look great!
