Default T56 teardown info

What year did GM service manuals began to show teardown info for the t56. My 97 manuals do not. I also have the Tremec manual, however it shows the Camaro unit.

from this thread: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1568497977

"Make sure you have the Corvette factory service manual with the transmission teardown info. The T56 service manual is available from Tremec's website, but it is the F-Body version, and there are many differences once you start tearing into it. I wasn't able to find the Corvette T56 teardown guide anywhere other than in the factory shop manual."

See post #4 & 5

I have the factory '98 books. No M6 teardown info either. Just tells you how to remove/reinstall.

p.s. most useful "accessory" I have ever bought for the C5 - and not expensive.

None of the 3 volume GM manuals cover rebuilding the MM6. I understood it was seperate but I have never seen one for sale. It may just be a Tremec manual and not GM.

I used the Tremec manuals and was successful! But it did take a bit of reading between the lines, and it was not my first rodeo.

Found a set of 1998 GM Unit Repair Manuals on ebay for $15 that covers the MM6 for both the Corvette and Camaro versions.
