Of note is the fact that all T56 transmissions share an interchangeable main case; even those found in Holdens, Fords, Vipers, and Aston Martins. What differs is the front adapter plate, tail shaft housing, shifter, and input/output shafts. Internally, there were some interchangeable differences, like the type of shift forks and synchronizers used, but for the most part all T56s are built on the same stout center section. Gear ratios are as follows:

Designed by New Venture, this stout truck six speed is up to the task of living behind engines like the Duramax and 8100 Vortec. For obvious reasons it has little application in hot rods due to its huge size, excessive weight, and truck-like gear ratios.
