Anyone here done the 5th and 6th gear swap on their T-56 transmission?
I need the .8 5th gear and .63 6th to make my car better in the Half and Standing Mile Events.
I'm also looking at the T-56 Magnum by Tick Performance but it's a more money. Anyone have any experience with this Mod?

Think Barry has in the past on his old RT/10.? (Viper Baz UK) Not sure on those Ratios? I think his upgrade involved parts from Aston Martin, think it was stronger parts or something?

Yes, I understand the ratios I want are from Aston and getting hard to find

I went wit a 2010 TR6060, then sourced the 6th gears for a Gen5.

Jon Donato sorted me out with all the parts needed to do the upgrade

5th 6th and reverse cluster and shaft along with all the forks and bronze bushes and fork pads, Had them all treated before re build ..

So much nicer after .... But the 6060 is even better again ...

Update on my T56, I pulled it and sent it to Tick Performance for the gears and upgrades. I considered doing the rebuild in my garage with a friend but the price difference was only about 600.00 and Tick is treating all internals. They quoted a 2 week turn around. Thanks guys for all the input!
