I don't know what PDM is, but the pinion was machined for a 30 spline through Rick@RKT56.

Hey, so no 2nd gear 'crunching' when cold now? Just curious. An owner PMed me saying his has been crunching in 1st and 2nd since new, and after 60K miles, no issues at all, so not worried about the few times mine has done it (only 2nd though).

And as a comment, this tranny likes fully-clutched gear shifts. When I had the tunnel open, gear engagement was balkier without the clutch pedal fully depressed. I'm getting used to do it that way now. Have a good one gang.

I find it a little strange that these 2 blockers have different inner rings.

Each blocker assembly contains 3 pieces: the outer ring(with the teeth) and 2 inner rings that slide inside each other. The 2 outer rings are identical but the inner ring is different between the two. The inner ring of 1 blocker ring has friction on the outside and is smooth in the middle but the inner ring of the 2nd blocker is smooth on both sides and is substantially more thick. I don't recall which gears these belonged too but I did notice they were different when they were replaced.
Great write up! I especially appreciate all the pictures, as I'm building a transaxle using a few TR6060 parts for the Factory Five GTM. The synchronizer ring sets where the inner ring is thicker and doesn't have friction material are the 'double cone' synchronizers. The inner ring is thicker because there is no cone built into the gear to support the other side. The 2 friction surfaces are between the blocker and middle ring, and between the middle ring and inner ring. The synchronizer ring sets where the inner ring has friction material are the 'triple cone' synchronizers, found on 1st and 2nd gear. The 1st and 2nd gears have a matching 7 degree cone that interacts with the inner surface of the inner ring, adding the 3rd friction surface.

Although i have a spare T56 gearbox in need of a rebuild, im sure they are quite similar and will most likely use your amazing DIY as a guide. Thanks a lot for contributing!

I hate to beat a dead horse but I’ve been searching for this information all week. Via the internet, it’s not readily available.

Base models from 2008-2013. Cannot be a Z51 or a Grand Sport. Base model only. And they have the same gearing as a C6 Z06
