After
months of testing, G-Force is proud to introduce the latest product
in our ever-expanding high performance transmission lineup. The G-Force
T-56 upgrade kit is now in production and available for any
T-56 variation. Whether you have a power adder or just big cubic inches,
we know this is what you have been waiting for. We have TRUE
bolt-in kits to fit Viper, Corvette, Camaro, and Cobra applications
along with custom installation kits that allow for an even wider range
of installations. With the optional G-Force mainshafts, these kits
have the ability to handle approximately 900* horsepower and 800 ft-lb.
of torque depending on the application.
Our kit combines the strength of a full-out race transmission with the factory look, drivability, and fit of an OEM installation. The G-Force T-56 conversion requires no case, tailhousing, or shifter modifications to your existing T-56. This means that your stock mounting hardware and dimensions will be utilized. This is not a one-size-fits-all kit. We have kits specifically designed for each application including special inputs for each vehicle.
In order to achieve the exceptional horsepower and torque handling
abilities this kit has to offer, G-Force has again gone back to its
racing heritage. While totally reengineering the gear design and tooth
profile, we also added gear width wherever possible and have gone with
our vast experience in terms of material selection. We use a proven
9310 alloy material for the
gears themselves and a slightly different
alloy for the synchronizer sleeves and the input shaft.
This means exceptional
gear strength and increased synchronizer ring wear resistance.
Also, gears 2nd, 3rd, and 4th all have replaceable synchronizer sleeves.
If you happen to wear out the engagement teeth on the front of the gear, just replace it with a slip-in piece. There is no need to buy the gear when doing this. This concept also works the other way as well. In the unlikely event that you need to replace a gear, you only have to replace a gear and not an assembly, thus saving an additional expenditure. These kits utilize the factory overdrive gears and mainshaft while essentially replacing all the other gears and shafts in the transmission.
These G-Force T-56 kits feature helical gearing to maintain a comfortable
noise level while still maintaining exceptional strength.
While slightly noisier than a stock T-56, the increased gear noise
in not excessive and nothing like a straightcut, race-only transmission.
We have tested slightly differing designs to come up with the best
strength/quietness levels possible when dealing with the excessive
power that these kits are made to cope with.
To further enhance the performance of your T-56, G-Force has come up with some additional performance options. Quicker, smoother shifting is always a plus when driving any manual transmission, and this is why G-Force has manufactured a triple cone conversion for your Viper, Camaro, or Cobra. While normally found only in the C5 Corvette applications, this conversion allows for the installation of the superior shifting triple cone synchronizer setup to be installed into any T-56. The T-56 normally comes with triple cone synchronizers only on 1st and 2nd gears, but our kit allows for the use of the triple cone setup in 3rd and 4th gears as well, greatly enhancing the shifting quickness of these gears. This kit includes the 3rd gear for the mainshaft, the input shaft with the input gear, the 3rd and 4th triple cone synchronizer and hub setup, and a special G-Force mainshaft. If you own a C5 Corvette, you already have this setup in your transmission. We do, however, have upgraded mainshafts made specifically for the C5 transmission. If you are looking for a transmission to be used in a project car or just want to trade in your worn out T-56, G-Force can build you a complete unit with our gear kit already installed. We can use a new or remanufactured core depending on what you would like.
*Obviously, power and torque ratings vary more or less depending upon weight, clutch, tire, RPM, etc.
