Looking for reliable source to convert T56 - Lateral-g Forums

Van B · #1 09-21-2015, 07:26 PM

Long story short, I have a brand new T56 Magnum that I need converted to a 4th gen F body tail housing and output shaft. I am building an LS powered 99 Miata and the 4th gen application places the shifter right in the stock hole.

I would be willing to ship or deliver the trans in order to convert it.

PM if you have a viable option.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Bowler.

Did you look at the Magnum XL?

I think I have a solution.

Thanks for your input.

I sell T56 Magnums and you can modify the shifter by cutting off the top portion where the stick bolts up, drilling a hole thru the shifter and welding a steel rod into it getting your desired setback. In the FD RX-7 it's about 4" setback. The stock shifter is surprisingly good after this mod.

No need for the $500 Sikky unit or other overpriced shifters. The mod takes about 1.5hrs taking your time.
