Guest Anonymous Posted February 11, 2002 Share Posted February 11, 2002 I hate to admit it but I paid Rockland Gear $2119.00 for mine brand new about 5 years ago as there just wern't any used ones. I then had to spend more for bell housing, etc...... it all came in just under $3000.00 I paid the price for being first one around here to have one. I was cool for a while. I would shop the salvage yards. I've seen them for as little as $1200.00 to $1800.00 complete with everything you need to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shasteen Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Dont forget the problem a couple of our members had, I think it was Blckmgc & Mike, when they purchased a salvage yard T-56 or two from wrecked cars. Their trans was jammed in one gear as the trans broke in the gear it was in at the time the doner car had its accident; so when Blckmgc/Mike tried to shift into gear for the initial test drive-their trans were jammed....(trans that are in two different gears will stall the engine-as they can only be in one gear at a time) so what I'm saying is, if you choose to buy a T-56 from a salvage yard from a car that has been wrecked, make sure you get a gaurantee from the salvage yard bossman that if/when you discover your trans is locked in gear/defective that he will replace it free of charge! And dont forget to ask if that gaurantee is only good for the usual thirty days. Hope all that made sence & wasnt confusing the issue.
