[SixFootSix]

I bought this a few months ago.

I lost 3rd gear on the way to work this morning.

This is what it has.

FULLY BUILT G-FORCE WITH ALL THE UPGRADES..BILLET FRONT PLATE...G FORCE GEARSET 1-6 WITH UPGRADED RATIOS..TRIPLE SYNCHROS, BILLET SLIDER...

What are my options?

[Disturbed 01]

T56 no matter what you do will not hold upto the tq of a viper. You need an auto. Or a 6060 might last a bit longer. Either way a manual isn't made that can hold the TQ

GFarce....are you sure all those upgrades were done?
Find a 6060 and send it to Donato.

Car was built with 2000 miles on it back in 07.
I got it with 8,800 miles on it and rolled over 11,000 on the way in.
Is 9,000 miles typical life for a tranny like this?

Yes and no I had a built Viper T-56 in my Trans Am that has ~550whp/525wtq and I lost 3rd then 4th just driving the car. The keys often fail and jam up the gears. Yours might have stamped steel keys, they really need the billet ones to hold up better. Now my TA has a faceplated t6060 in it. Haven't ran it hard on spray yet but it should hold the 800/1000 it makes on dope.

Texas Drive Train does great work, they are in Dallas.

Buy a stock T6060 and throw it in, its a WAY better transmission that the pos t56, and alot stronger.

Gforce is junk btw.

[Todd Abrams]

That trans was fresh from mark at g-force. his transmissions have 1600 plus rwhp vipers running them.
Id call him. If you choose to order a t6060. Ill buy this one from you....broken...

No reason to keep dumping more money into this beater, Ill take the car for 30k with the broken tranny...

Will my clutch and shifter work?

Anything else I have to change?

Can you just replace the yoke with the gen4?

I currently have
- Mark Williams Driveshaft..... $ 1,500
- Mark Williams billet pinion yoke...... $ 255

I think I may try to fix if. If all else fails, I will keep your offer in mind.

[SixFootSix]

Going to get a stock 6060, new yoke and crossmember and give it a try.
