Came across this ad just surfing the classifieds. Not really ready for the swap yet but have plans for it in the future. Thought if this is a good deal might pick it up while its available so it's around when I get to this part of my build. Basically the ad says its all a 2002 Camaro setup but it was in a 1993' RX7. The guy bought it from someone else with plans to build a car but isn't going through with it. He is asking $2400.
T56 transmission. rebuilt years ago, roughly 5000 miles
steel 3-4 shift fork
modified 1-2 shifter fork
bearings
carbon syncro/blocker kit
billet keys
McLeod RXT twin clutch, 5000 miles
McLeod billet throwout bearing, 5000 miles
Spec Steel Flywheel, aluminum 2000 miles.
MGW shifter 5000 miles
Ram throw out bearing adjuster 100 miles
Ad doesnt mention a bell housing. From what I calculated, the clutch, bearing, flywheel, shifter and adjuster alone would cost roughly $1600 new. Which to me makes it almost worth it, considering most T56s I have seen online range from 1500 to 3000 alone. I'm not sure though, I have never bought a used transmission before. What do you guys think? Also if I go to look at it, what should I look for when inspecting the transmission? Is there any way to tell if its in good condition internally? Not really sure what the 1-2 shifter mod is or the blocker kit, some insight into that would be appreciated as well. Any input at all would help.
Thanks!
