$2k well spent in my mind lol. I plan to do it to mine once I get to that point.

The upgrades for the t56 dont help the torque capacity of it, frankly it is a waste of money. I have a rpm t56, there is nothing special other than shifter forks and slider keys. The magnum is the only upgrade.

There's always the option to not go before getting it fixed lol.

Do you believe that? How is the Stage 2 whatever they call it improved?
Our Level Two Upgraded Rebuild includes the following:
- Complete tear down, degrease & thorough inspection of entire transmission
- Bronze 1-4 Fork Pads
- OEM 5-6 & Reverse Fork Pads
- Billet 3-4 Synchronizer Keys (with upgraded springs)
- New OEM 1-2, 5-6 & Reverse Keys & Springs
- Complete Carbon Fiber Synchronizer (blocker) Ring Set
- Steel 3-4 Shift Fork (where applicable)
- New Front Seal
- New Rear Seal
- Cryogenic Treatment of All Transmission Internals
- End-play set to our custom specifications
- Professional Reassembly done 100% by hand
So bronze fork pads are for shifting, do nothing for torque ability.
Billet 3-4 Keys, once again for shifting, not much better than stock
Carbon Fiber Synchronizer/blocking rings, this isn't really an upgrade, helps with shifting.
Steel 3-4 Shift Fork, once again only for shifting
cryo treatment, I highly doubt they actually do this.
So I ask you again, where is this transmission stronger than stock for a torque load?
There is a Viper Mainshaft upgrade, but that isn't a big deal. The Magnum is basically a way different stronger version.68 Mechanical Alcohol Injected LT1.

@noice where do we look for a magnum upgrade? Is this a T56 rebuild upgrade or a new transmission altogether?

I suggest to run the stock one. The magnum is a separate $5k transmission, for that money you could buy an actual racing manual transmission.

I am highly debating on doing a 4l80e conversion, how much work is involved
