Default Need T56 parts

Hi,

On my stock T56, hard to put in 1st or in reverse, i have to rebuild

I was thinking put buy this kit : http://www.thegearbox.org/catalog/it...25/9379737.htm
BUT... they said "The 1-2 outer steel ring is not available"...
AND... this kit is not available right now

1) Do you think this kit WAS complete for me ?

2) Does it 200% mandatory to have "The 1-2 outer steel ring" ?

3) If yes, how can i buy this ring ?

4) Can i have a price, link or contact for similar kit ?

Best regard

don't need it. If it is the part I believe it to be it is a non-wear item.

They are pretty much going to have the best deals on T56 parts around. I go between them and Tick for any T56 parts I need until it becomes worth it for me to get an account with Tremec.

Who is doing your rebuild?

Thanks HardcoreABN

But, the kit is not available right now

And if rebuild is done, we'll do it (i'm in Europe)

Info from thegearbox :
* stage II kits are out of stock at this time
* The 1-2 outer rings do not always need to be replaced

Info from RPMTransmissions :
* If trans is hard to get in 1st and reverse it sounds more like a clutch release problem than a transmission problem. I would inspect the clutch hydraulics first and if you have a remote bleeder, throw it in the trash because that is likely your problem.
* That kit you posted will be fine but you may need more parts then that kit contains. Like synchronizer assemblies and gears.
* The 1-2 outer rings aren't always necessary. Only if the ring is cracked, worn out or the engagement teeth are broken off of it.

Info from RKT56 :
* The outer ring is normally not replaced unless it's damaged or cracked.
* The kit is listed is pretty complete and should work for your rebuild.

So... perhaps just an clutch issue ?

I had already clutch issue 6 month before (pedal at the floor after burnout when drag race... because hot dirty oil i think... and hard to put in 4th gear at high rpm also when drag race)
I changed the slave, and put a remote blender

Did you think it can just be the master now ?

Did I miss something here....? Looks like RPM gave you the probable cause. Remove the remote bleeder and see if your problem goes away.

I don't see how the remote bleeder can be the cause of this, it functions no differently than the OEM bleeder which is damn near impossible to get to on a C5....
