First off, what an OUTSTANDING BUILD!!! I'm new here, but have been lurking for a while. I'm still in the "research" phase of my 260z/LS2 build and your thread has given me tons of great info. When my wife starts complaining about the $$$$ I'm spending, I'm going to point her to your thread to show how bad it could've been.
I'm still on the fence whether to go with an auto or manual, but can you explain where shimming is necessary with the T56? I have experience rebuilding/installing Muncie's and TKO 5-speeds, but have never messed with a T56.
Keep up the GREAT WORK!
