t56 question

Hey guys need your knowledge. Im looking to do a auto to manual swap. I found a trans the numbers on it are as follows
left side of case:- 13-86-065-902
right side tab:- 2550647 j2942
386-609 d 33249.

The person said it was out of a 97, is this correct? And if so will it fit into my 95 car?

Also the guy said it got stuck in 4th, any ideas as to what the issue may be, Thanks guys

94-97 are identical and fully interchangeable. 93's have different gear ratios, lower torque rating and no "skip shift" solenoid, and a different VSS setup.

This is mine

E0673 on the green tag

E=May
06=6th
7=1997
3=3rd work shift

If the tag is missing then no way to know exactly. But as above; doesn't REALLY matter.

It was out of a 1994 or possible a 1995 car. Made on Oct 29 1994.

If the guy says a 1997 then don't trust him too much.

3-4 fork most likely bent. Common and they make a steel upgrade.

Cool thanks for reply. So the trans is not junk, the stuck gear is easy fix? He said both the shafts still turn.

On a side note, will the v6 clutch pedal, slave/master work?
Or the 2002 ls1 stuff work?, including the calipers, and driveshaft and the trans cross member, any knowledge is appreciated

They stopped making 94 model year F-Bodys in August of 94, so its not out of a 94.

I suspect a V6 clutch pedal will work fine. You will most likely need to buy the complete LT1 hydraulic assembly (master, hose, slave) - the only way they sell it. The LT1 uses a unique "pull-back" clutch design, with the slave mounted in a cup that bolts to the bellhousing. The LS1 clutch and slave are totally different, because the LS1 uses a conventional "pusher" clutch, and has the slave mounted on the front cover of the T56, concentric with the input shaft.

All 4th Gen driveshafts are the same length.

What "calipers" are you asking about?

hey injuneer thanks for replies. Is this trans going to be fine in my 95. I have located a v6 clutch pedal and cylinders, which is fine right? Is the manual trans cross member required, and is the auto driveshaft the same length? I have found a guy parting a 2002 ws6, can I use the driveshaft/cross member from it, along with the calipers (brakes). Thanks again.

I'll say it one more time.... All 4th Gen driveshafts are the same length. I will add, since the topic of a V6 seems to have popped up - V6 are 2-piece, and should not be used with the V8.

Is this trans going to be fine in my 95.
I'll say it again.... 94-97 are identical and fully interchangeable.

I have located a v6 clutch pedal and cylinders.....
I'll say it again.... I suspect a V6 clutch pedal will work fine. I seriously doubt there is any difference between the V8 pedal and the V6 pedal, but I can not state that with absolute certainty. I'm not sure where the issue of a V6 pedal came from... you didn't mention it until post #6.

I'll repeat, and clarify.... You will most likely need to buy the complete LT1 hydraulic assembly (master cylinder, hose, slave cylinder)

I have found a guy parting a 2002 ws6, can I use the ....cross member from it
Here's one I didn't answer. You need a T56 cross-member. I do not know if the LS1 T56 cross-member is the same as the LT1 T56 cross-member. I believe I have read that they are not the same, but I do not know with absolute certainty.

As far as the LS1 brake calipers.... what does that have to do with the trans swap? If you are also asking about doing an LS1 front brake swap, you can not just swap the calipers. You have to get the complete steering knuckle, caliper, rotor and hose out of the LS1.

Thanks again for the clarification. Everything is in check. I was only wondering about the calipers, just thought if I was gonna get parts from a ls I was going to grab everything salvagable.

Only one prob though. Some peeps are saying the auto crossmember is going to work with the manual. Is there truth to that
or absolutely I need manual crossmember? Thanks again

The auto crossmember will not work. You need a T56 crossmember. The transmission mount that bolts between the trans and the crossmember is interchangeable.

It appears you are trying to piece together a swap. In my opinion you would be better off getting a complete swap. You can find them on Ebay, the for sale area on this site or maybe a local salvage yard.

Try this site for swap info. http://www.afrashteh.com/tranny_pics/T56.htm

Ok cool, i would get a complete swap but it is hard to acquire out here, either there is nobody with a complete swap or they want too much money for it. I have the transmission already, thats why I was asking for the for the clutch pedal styles, cuz theres lots of smashed v6 cars kickin around but not the v8s

The auto torque arm will work with a T56.
