T56 Source or recommend rebuilder
My FRC T56 seems to pop out of 1st and reverse regularly - not sure but I suspect the trans is tired.
Can anyone recommend a source for a new/rebuilt T56 (I seem to like the ZO6 trans ratios a little better) or someone who can build mine into a bulletproof track event monster?
thanks!

I have a Rodney (RPM Transmissions) built M12 for sale. It has all of his upgrades including micropolishing. I will take $2100 + shipping with no core charge.
I used it for 1 1/2 race weekends and switched back to the M6 gearing.

PM me and I'll give you my numbers and we can talk about what to look at and adjust before you spend your hard-earned cash.
If you do have to buy , RPM or Rockland are quality establishments. Be careful with your transmission gearing selections, some tracks better with M12 some M6...........cant be perfect everywhere. The M6 box is stacked closer .

Additionally all pre-Z06's have rubber isolators on the shifter housing which destroy themselves and create unwanted play in the housing.

Third is fine - pm sent. After a quote of $960 labor to do a clutch in my FRC - I built a wooden frame support and started the job today. Reminds me of a clutch job on my 944S actually so far...
thanks
