viper spec t56 help!

[SaleenGT2001]

i have a chance to pick up a viper spec t56 from an 01 cobra for $2000. it comes with the cross member and driveshaft. is there any differance in the 01 cobra and my 01 gt as far as the tranny goes? will i have to change my clutch and flywheel out? i have a 3650 tranny in it now. i'm trying to figure out if it is worth it.

Do it! It's definately worth it!

not sure what you have to change out tho

 

[SaleenGT2001]

i'm kinda on the fence about it. i have 4K to spend and i WAS gonna do a built bottom end and cams. well at least pay for them and then save for the install at MPH. but i know that with over 550 HP the stock tranny wont last too long, so now i have a good chance to replace it.

is my 3650 a 26 spline clutch?

You do know that 01 cobras come STOCK with the same 5SPD you have right? Apparently the owner swapped in a T-56 or hes pulling your chain....or its an 03-04.

An 03/04' wouldn't be Viper spec though. Just a regular t-56.

this one was swapped in. the car is from MPH. the engine caught on fire and totaled the car. he is parting it out. but like i said i can pick up the whole kit for 2K. does taht seem like a good deal? i know they are about $3800 new. would this be a wise investment rather than getting a built motor right now and then tearing out the stock tranny? and are the viper spec trannys stronger than the TKO 600? what are the vipers rated to hold?

all i know is TKO 600s are FREAKIN BADASS!!! i know viperspecs are badass too but not sure which is stronger

If you absolutely must have a Viper Spec T56, then go for it. Just keep in mind, that D&D Performance sells freshly remanufactured '03-'04 Cobra T56's, with cross member and aluminum drive shaft for $2,499.....and that's with a warranty!

Those viper spec trannys usually can hold in excess of 600RWHP. IMHO if you dont have a stock clutch right now (it WILL slip @ 550RWHP and your tune may be off) then go the tranny.

If you have a good clutch that will hold 550RWHP, do the motor mods and BABY the transmission until you can get another one.

I am having a cobra t56 put in my mach this week now that the 3650 is crapping out. The parts they are ordering / modifying are T56 tranny, X member, 27 spline yoke ( i think ), and the driveshaft will have to be shortened and rebalanced.

You will have to change the clutch to a 26 spline version. Since you have to get a new clutch might as well go with a new billet or aluminum flywheel with an 11" clutch setup.

i have a mccloed clutch in it now along with an aluminum flywheel.

the guy is giving me the clutch/pressure plate, tranny, cross member, driveshaft, and shifter all included and he is giving me a guarentee that it will work perfectly.
