thats bad ass but man for almost 2 grand ill keep my clutch for now

cool But faceplating a T56 is ridiculous!

wowsers

holy shit...

I see a big boom in the near future...

amazing but how long is that going to last? Regular faceplating only lasts 20k miles and thats really pushing it I've heard of most people needing to redo theirs around 7-10k miles

Faceplating is different. I think your talking about a proshifted trans. Those need the gears deburd every so often.

Suggested for all manually shifted racecars, faceplating is a procedure very similar to proshifting, but much more durable and longer lasting. Faceplating completely eliminates the possibility of missing a shift by removing the stock synchronizers and opening up the engagement window for faster, higher rpm shifting. This is definitely the way to go if you have a T56 in your racecar and you're looking for the quickest shifts possible. Due to the harsh nature of this process, we do not recommend this option for cars that see any street driving.

They even say right in that thread that the trans will need occasional servicing with this setup. Thats's probably an understatement.

i dunno if you need to shift THAT fast get an Auto......

If you go onto liberty transmission they say that they last much longer than proshifted and don't tend to burr up the gears like the proshifted but they still wear at a much much faster rate that synchros and need to be maintenanced just the same just last you a little bit longer.

They are pretty much mimicing what is done on motorcycles.Just harder the way you have to move the shifters.

No tranny is made to last when dog boned in any way.A dog bone setup works great,I use to have them cut like that for my bikes. The engagement will always wear down.This is why faceplated and liberty tranny's are mostly made for the track. A street car can make them last awhile because you are not powershifting in reguler driving. LPE has a ton of time and money.If they wanted to go real fast they would just run a powerglide and be done.

Bingo!
