Budhound Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Tremec T56 using a t5 bellhousing will that bolt up to my 2.5L? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worlds Fastest Comanche Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well look here http://theamcforum.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3544 Since your 2.5 has a GM bolt pattern, yoiu should be ablr to bolt a GM t56 right up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car RamRod Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I'm not sure if a t56 will bolt to a t-5 housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worlds Fastest Comanche Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 A t56 will not bolt in place of a T5 unless you use an adapter plate on the front of the t56. They sell them on ebay if you want to see what one looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worlds Fastest Comanche Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 What if you don't have $3500 to spend? Maybe instead of putting a 6 speed transmissinn in back of a 4 cylinder motor, you should put a 6 cylinder motor in front of a 5 speed transmission.

I hate to dog someones project but a 4cyl likely won't have the power to turn the low 1st gear or low 6th gear (2nd OD) of most t56s. I mean of course it will work, but it'll be a total dog. I'm running a 4.0/5 speed combo and love it. Even if I could get a magical 6th gear for free, I'd have no use for it. I'm at optimal cruising rpm at 65-70. And 1st gear is just right as well. I run a t56 in my stang and even there it's really not neccessary, I just like being able to run a taller gear, and its also a strong trans. Just somethin to think about (and save alot of money on).

KillerCOM Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 sorry to say but you guys are forgetting the final drive ratio. using this trans would let him use a lower gear say 4.10:1 on the street. i say go for it if you want. would be a BA setup behind a 2.4 turbo from a SRT-4.

A common t56 has a final drive of .62. For comparison, a regual t5 has a .68. There are exceptions (viper spec t56 is .5, and so on). And like I stated in my last post, first gear is not as agressive in a t56 as in most 5 speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
