What would you pay for a t56?

[280z4me2]

Want to start gathering parts for 350 swap. Curious on the market for T56? Whats the most you would pay for used untested?

[bjhines]

I have not priced them used recently, but $900 seems fair for a good condition T56 with all of the associated parts from the donor car. That is what I paid for a WCT5 a few years ago with flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, fork, throwout bearing, speedo cable, mount, shifter, and driveshaft included. There are more of the T56s available, they are heavier, and they have less milage than the rare WCT5s. I would strongly consider buying a NEW Tremec T45 5-speed or TKO 5-speed, They are lighter and stronger than the factory T56 and you can order custom ratios and configurations.

I paid $750 for my t56 (90,000 miles). It came with the clutch assembly and hydraulics along with an aluminum drive-shaft. From the searching that I have done, I feel like that I paid a really good price. I usually see them on Craig's List for $1200 and up.
