Transmissions

The Borg-Warner T56 transmission is a very common manual transmission found in many GM, Ford and Dodge vehicles. RKT has years of experience building these transmissions for applications ranging from street-use to drag-racing.

Below are a few of the features that have made the T56 such a successful and reliable transmission:

• Double overdrive provides extended ratio coverage and allows for closer ratio steps
• Aluminum die cast housings for reduced weight
• Tapered roller bearings on main and countershafts reduce noise and improve durability
• Needle bearing under all speed gears improve high speed performance and reduce shift effort
• Advanced synchronizer technology
• Powdered steel core blocker rings
• Engineered friction materials for improved durability
• Multiple cone synchronizer design for lower shift effort and increased capacity
• Patented strut-type synchronizer design for improved durability
• Constant mesh synchronized reverse
• Internal, single-rail shift system
• Integral clutch adapter with front cover end-loading design for increased driveline bending strength and greater application adaptability
• Multiple shift lever locations
