Recently received a gearbox I bought from a fellow forum member.
When I started to prepare to remove my current transmission, I realized there's some different connectors on the new one (and a lack of one as well).
My gearbox is from a 2007 car, and the new one I believe was from a 2007 as well.
On my current gearbox, I HAVE 2 connectors above each other ( in the blank hole), and not just one as in the first picture of the new gearbox. Both connectors look exactly the same.
On my current gearbox I DO NOT have the big golden connection situated at 45 degrees of the trans case.
I've tried to search what each of these connectors does, and if I can run with/without them, but with no luck.
Does anyone know? Really need to get this gearbox changes, and I didn't know there were any differences between T-56 gearboxes coming from Corvettes.
Only the 2005 T56 had those 2 switches on the side. Exact same switch that does 2 different things. If you have both and they are both connected then you must have a 2005 car. When swapping a 2005 to a later T56, owners have simply connected all 4 of the wires, from both switches, into one group connected to the 1 switch on the later trans.

Thanks !
The T56 you have posted is from a 2006.
Like RicK T stated, you can splice the 2 wires to make it work for the reverse switch.
You must have the export model so that's the reason you have 2 reverse sensors and no skip shift.
