Scott, thank you. I wish I had talked to you before I got so deep into this thing - I think I would be going with a T-5! That said, though, I have the T-56, so I gotta make the best of it - and I ain't even gonna TELL you what I spent on the damned thing! LOL
So anyhow, let me make sure I understand you. Understand - I haven't gotten into a project like this in over 20 years, and I am pretty uneducated when it comes to all the new stuff out there. So all these different model numbers, the T4, T5, T56, T3550, TKO500 and TKO600 - they all refer to different models of tranny? T4 and T5 are related, but you said the T56 isn't. Is it related to these others, the T3550, TKO500 and TKO600? Would it be possible to relocate the shifter position fore and aft on a T56, by swapping out tail sections? Sounds like this is possible with some of these others, but not with the T56...?
And since I suspect you've forgotten more about these things than I'll ever learn, let me throw in one more question. I've seen several threads where they talk about modifying a T5 to have a mechanical speedo drive, I think by removing the exciter ring(?) and replacing it with the gear setup to drive a conventional speedo cable. Is this possible with a T56?
I sure appreciate your help, Scott. Thank you!
Bill
