How Bulletproof is a T56?
I posted this over at LT1 Tech, and they said to move it over here...so here goes...
I was curious, in a near stock car such as mine, how durable is a T56? When it comes to driving it, I'm fairly easy, but no grandma. Its never been to the track, but I've probably nailed it and barked 2nd and 3rd about 7-8 times driving it over the summer (about 4k miles).
Do these things hold up well? I've always been under the assumption they did. Also, how often should the fluid be changed? I did mine 11k ago, and was planning on doing it again in the spring...it'll be 3 years old

The LT1 T-56's are damn near bulletproof. However, when Tremec started the production, they went south fast. I dropped 5th three times in my STOCK 99. There's a bunch of LS1 guys that have been having problems.
