Thread: Aligning factory T56 Bellhousing

Interesting, I've never heard of this. I've had my T56 off and on a number of times and never done any sort of alignment, relying on the dowel pins to align the bellhousing. However, I don't use roller pilot bearings, just bushings. I'm not a fan of the bearings at all, they have a possibility of seizing up and taking out the input shaft along with them. Happened on my brother's 99 T/A.

Supporting Memberand this is part of the reason it needs to be aligned. tremec specifically states a roller bearing for the t56 and all newer transmissions. the idea behind a bushing is that a misalignment the harder input shaft will wear the softer bushing. read this http://www.camaros.org/bellhousings.shtml
