Rebuilding a t56
Hey all,
I took my tranny out and disassembled it on saturday, after review of what i need, i am not finding it hard to find parts to rebuild??? a google search revealed a few places, with the only place being the gear box, but the only thing i can really find on there that works for corvette is the basic rebuild kit, which is about quadruple the price of the normal t56. Im going the el cheapo route and not doing all bearings, so basically im looking for some syncro's and the carbon cones, but i cant find them, also need a pair of forks, bronze pads and the billet keys, the pads and keys are easy to find but i just cannot find the carbon synro cones for the life of me!!!
Would they be something that has to come from the dealer or is there another place that sells tranny rebuild parts?
Thanks!!
***I MUST BE BLIND***
on the gear box it does say that they ARE carbon syncro assemblies.... i guess ill just have to contact them to see if they can swap out various pieces of that kit
I would delete this post but i guess i just dont know how!!

Have you tried the friendly folks at Rockland Standard Gear? http://www.rsgear.com/
I have not purchased anything from them, but see their name pop up quite regularly on different forums when the subject is transmissions.
