the t-56 trans shifter was 8 inches farther back than my stock trans, my t-56 cost me 1350, clutch kit was 450, new shifter was 140, upgraded slave cylinder was 130, probably close to 2 grand invested in the trans alone but its the funnest damn tranny ive ever shifted. i vote t-56! you wont regret it. make sure its off an LS1 though or the bellhousing wont mate to the LSX block.
