01' Camaro T56 <60K Miles *Super Clean*

[twin_vector_turbo]

I have for sale a T56 from a 2001 Camaro T56.

Purchased it for my swap, but changed directions when I found a built transmission I wanted.

LKQ said it had less than 60K miles on it.

Exterior is super clean. No oil leaks and minimal clutch dust inside bellhousing.

Input shaft spins freely, and goes into all gears.

Does not come with reverse lock-out solenoid, shifter handle, knob, or slave cylinder. Comes with shifter mechanism.

Still on pallet from LKQ.

Looking to get $1700 OBO for it. Can ship it out at your expense. Prefer local pick-up in Columbus OH.

how much for shipping to 23503

[kruked]

I thought lkq charged $150 for transmissions. When did they bump up the pricing to ridictulousness?
Granted that there is freight charges, but damn, you want $1700 for this?

I bought this from a close friend that bought it from LKQ.

When I called the local LKQ in Ohio last year for some other parts, their prices for any LSx swap parts were fairly high, along with every single other junk/salvage yard.

I, along with every person planning an LSx swap, wishes that they could get the trans for $150...

LS1 T56's are hard to find as it is...

Dang if t56's were $150 id mate it to a ka hahaha
Buddy just picked up a 2000 camaro SS for 3k tho w/ 120k so $1700 seems a bit steep just for the used tranny i have to admit

[kruked]

I guess lkq's out side of florida must operate differently. If its a specific, common part, e.g. rim, seat, trans, motor, dash...there is a specific pricing. All manual transmission around here cost $150, a gas engine w/ no external accessories i believe is around $250ish, a bare dash is $50. Rims, depends on aluminum/steel, w/ tire, w/o tire . Doesnt matter what something comes from, if its common from vehicle to vehicle, the price will not fluctuate much. Unless...truck vs car, auto vs manual, fwd vs rwd, 2 pot calipers vs 4 pot, blah blah blah.


Not trying to bash or rain on your parade, but it almost seems as if your buddy got ripped off, or he ripped you off.

Here is lkq's price sheet for down here in florida...

[holemilk00]

Umm every junkyard up and down the west coast of florida has gotten wise to the cost/demand for LSx parts. They aren't selling t56s for $150 anymore. And haven't for a few years. Even the iron block truck motors have gone up lately. These guys aren't idiots that run these yards. The one in St Pete has even gotten wise to the s-chassis demand. They wanted $400 for a clean uncracked s13 dash and door panels about three weeks ago.

[nismoracingsx]

wow, i guess i'm still lucky then...40.00 for uncracked dash here :)
buddy of my grabbed a truck motor w/ ecm for like 300.00 but I think the car scene is still in it's baby steps here :)

glws OP, i see the t56 for 1500+ all the time

[bftII40]

Prices is way more than fair. GLWS

Not just Florida.

Here in the boonies of OH, it's still expensive.

There is a reason it's so expensive. The transmissions can take a pounding. Low mileage units are getting harder and harder to get ahold of. This is the reason why many buy new, but unless you have $3500 cash laying around, you're out of luck.

Even the popular T56 rebuilders all throughout the country have a really tough time selling built/rebuilt trans just because cores are hard to find.

[91white_ka]

Lmao no, they are not stout. They barely hold more than a ka Trans. And I just saw a ls1/t56 ecu and harness go for 2k here in new Orleans. 80k on the set. Glws but you might want to price this less than 50 percent above eBay cost...

I trole the bay area lkq web sites daily for s13's because of certain little knick knacks for my car. Everyone that pops up, im there the next day at the latest. There hasnt been a clean, uncracked dash at that junk yard in months. Regardless, they cant over charge you a price than whats on their price list. Doesnt matter if its by popular demand or not. And if they try and one lets them...well, stupid them.

Another thing...anyone of these lkq's in the bay area DO NOT CHECK what part comes from what car. If a t56 pops at one one of the locations, guarantee it will cost no more than $165 after taxes.

I was there on Oct 15th. They have a red hatch from up north, it's rusted out. Perfect clean uncracked black dash, perfect door panels.


You can play like you're the master and know every s-chassis in florida in a junkyard. But I know my facts. I didn't say it was at an LQK, I said its at a junkyard. You know where you have to get out from behind the computer, and put feet on the ground to find things.

Ill keep it short and simple for you. These are your words, not mine.

The address that you provided is for Tampa. Tampa and St. Pete are 2 entirely different counties.

Um, are you kidding? They're not stout?

Well then maybe the 750 WHP twin turbo LSX guys should start swapping in KA transmissions...

Sorry, but unless you prove to me otherwise, you're just a tool.

[bftII40]

Stop trolling nimrods let this man sell his more than reasonably priced transmission. Have you smart asses ever tried LS1tech? OP GLWS and to any potential buyer OP is correct with his price.

And I'll keep it short or you. With your words, you said "the Bay Area" the address I gave you is still on the bay, and it's 18 miles from St Pete city limits. I'm sorry you're too lazy to drive 18 miles.

[blueshark123]

Wow kruked you're a fucking genius. I'm gonna go buy all the t56 transmissions and ls1 motors from lqk and resell them for a 1000% return then. Anywhere you go you will be paying somewhere above 1k easily for a t56

[Senor_Nismo]

1700 is about where these go fo, any cheaper and they are a steal. those transmissions are expensive

[gambit420s]

Trade?

Please, start holding your breath for this LKQ self serve T56

If you did so it would help the rest of us not to see your stupidity again.

LKQ self serve is not the only LKQ, there are two sides to LKQ, you will likely NEVER, EVER EVER EVER find a T56 at an LKQ self serve.

So by all means please take the last gasp now.

NOTE:

1) Stop clouding up my thread with everybody's get rich quick schemes. You can't buy these for $150. If you can, awesome! Make your own thread.

2) Thanks for everybody's interest. If you are looking for a shipping quote, please check engineshipping.com. I used them when I bought my V8 after a TON of research.

Enter your info and send me how much it will cost to ship. Obviously, the farther you live, the more expensive it will cost (AKA Cali).

If you want to save some cash, make an account on uship.com. It's like eBay, except reversed. Shipping companies bid to ship your item. The lowest bid I got from engineshipping.com's account through uship.com was cheaper than engineshipping's online quote from their website.

I have no problems selling the transmission for whatever we negotiate on outright, then you can make the Uship posting and wait a week or so for the lowest bidder. You would then pay whatever it costs to ship through credit card to the shipping company which makes things easier. I would want money for packing materials. The best way seems to be to place the trans in a huge Tupperware container with foam/newspaper and duct tape it shut. The crate will be time consuming to make, and I don't trust an exposed pallet (in case something drops on it). If you choose to go that route, I won't be liable for any damages.

3) I will get pictures up soon. I was surprised by how clean it was. Doesn't looked touched up or cleaned, but you can be the judge.

And you are just some guy in Ohio scouring YouTube videos. The t56 that came in the ls1 generation f-body is rated to right around $450. I absolutely garuntee you anything you saw making 500+ has work done to it unless he just babies it up on to the rollers and parks it. What you are most likely referring to is someone running an f-body t56 with the viper t56 input shaft/gear mod. And even then they are only reccomended to $700. I don't have to prove you anything, simply search instead of misinforming people.

Op, I apologize for this last "shit" in your thread. You do have a very clean low mileage example of a good starting point for someone looking to go LSX, however as stated I feel you will have better luck lowering the price a bit.

Never did I say a stock T56 could hold 750 ft-lb. It takes some modification, but there are really no major changes to the internals of a built trans. Aside from the larger output shaft of the Viper trans, they are pretty much the same (same gears and input shaft). I believe the Viper T56 is rated for only like 550 ft-lb by Tremec. Yet there are several people including shops that swear they can hold way more. The output shaft is not known to be the limitation in the transmission.

Yeah it's "rated" for 450 ft-lb, but that number is known to be conservative. There is a lot that companies consider when rating the output of something. Especially something like a transmission: durability over the course of the vehicles life is a consideration (10+ years @ 450 ftlb is an example).

In a car as light as the 240SX along with tire size limitations, I doubt many would even be pushing the limits of the transmission.

I still stand by the fact that the transmission is very stout. I believe you were the one that came into my thread and said they weren't stout.
If a failure does happen, SEVERAL shops can rebuild them. Parts are readily available. Prove me wrong.
