Hey all I figured I would just put up another thread. I changed the T56 manual as for some reason and I didn't know this til today, the inserted pictures sucked. Anyway sorry about that, I revised the format so it is a smaller file as well.

download from here http://www.4shared.com/folder/DsCj7jdE/Impala_and_Caprice_mods.html

I was holding onto the password and giving it out to people that pm'd me, but the hell with it, it looks like I maybe getting a job where I am going to be uber busy and I may not be on here much.

Password is 9196bbody

People that have downloaded this or have old versions may want to redownload, it is 10% the size of the original.


I always put this disclaimer in, mod to be done at your own risk. As well as if the manual helped you out at all and you feel like donating cool, my paypal is mfetcko at charter.net , you don't have to by any means, but anything is appreciated. I have kept track of the downloads as well as requests, they are over 400 now, with very little donation. It just takes alot of time to put stuff like this together.

Anyway all in all I hope it helps people out. Take care.

Mike

more like owe the forum...............a lot of that info in "your" manual was info from the forum, just copied into a "manual" with some added info. I always read you referring to this as "your" manual with no mention of the previous members that made this said manual possible. Don't get me wrong here, I've used it myself, after doing the whole run in and search, then run back out thing until you made it easier for us with this said manual, so I thank you for that.........just saying, give a little credit where it's due.

Well I can say that I have never taken credit away from anyone that I got the information from. The manual states this as well. I call it mine as I wrote it from mainly my personal experience and with the a little information of other forum members that did the installation before me, and they are all mentioned within the manual in the credits section.

Did I get a little information from the forum yes, did I rewrite any information that I used from the forum yes. Honestly I can't really say that I copied really anything verbatum from the previous information before the crash, there was a lot of information that had to be found via google, other forums, etc. and revised due to discontinued parts and better information.

I just call it mine as I took the time to write it up and do a hell of alot of research, sh** it is something like 61 pages now and up to Revision A, as well as I pay to host the file on a server so I can revise it when needed. Again I will never take anything away from those that provided information for it, hence why it is listed in the manual. I used pictures from Noel (Got “CUPCAKE” Bearings), Roger (BALLSS) and others. I had Roger and Doug (wood95ss) and Sharx proof read it. And probably used insight or possibly forum posts, but I got their blessing before using any information that they posted on the forum or otherwise.

This is what it states on page 39 of the manual

"A special thanks needs to go out to the forum members @ imapalassforum.com. These guys are a great bunch of individuals and are willing to help in any situation.
Thanks to
Roger ( Ball ss)
Noel (Got “CUPCAKE” Bearings)
Todd (GreenHornet)
Gerry (95Wagon)
Sean (Ark SS)
Sslumpin Imp
Sharkx
And others, that I am sure that I forgot to mention."


Long and the short of it, I did the T56 swap, wrote the manual using pictures information from my experience, used some pictures from other members and some members read it before I posted it, and I gave these members credit. I never asked for anything for the manual, in case someone wanted to donate after using it they could, but I didn't require anything from anyone.

My new bible cwm4

Thanks so much Mike!

You are the man

Bought time you are going to make that slow car a stick Can't wait to see it run that is for sure.

 

[94MI9C1]

Thanks Roger

 

[94MI9C1]

Whore away man, I don't care. I will try to keep it updated so there is current information within it.

 

[94MI9C1]

It is cool powder you are entitled to your opinion as well as others. I gave credit where it was do in every revision of the manual, period. I don't find it necessary to say thanks to the "og"'s everytime it is brought up, when they are mentioned within it. I wrote the manual mainly on my personal experience and advice I got along the way in my original T56 install thread that was lost while I was writing the manual. I revise it based on other installs I have done myself for people and things that people send me, as well as tons of parts research.

No need to carry on with the back and forth about it. I said my piece. Take care.

 

[94MI9C1]

If I had the time and I was closer I would help you out for sure. Sorry man.

 

[94MI9C1]

Who is going to do the installation for you?

 

[94MI9C1]

Sweet.

 

[94MI9C1]

Hey there all it seems that 4shared, the file host has added some b.s. that you have to download the desktop or sign up for a login information to download, sorry about that.

If you need the manual and you don't want to take these steps, shoot me a message on here with your email or email me direct through my user name and I can email it to you.

Thanks.

 

[94MI9C1]

cool thanks brother.

 

[94MI9C1]

I emailed it as well.

 

[94MI9C1]

Holy geez I'm so sick of my 4l60 failing. I am REALLY close to taking a sip of this t56 koolaid.

Do it already lol.

I would too if NY traffic didn't make me want to punch babies.

Yeah traffic sucks out there for sure.

 

[94MI9C1]

As stated the manual has a lot of pictures in it, is there something specific that you are looking for, picture wise?

 

[94MI9C1]

The place I located the file at , 4shared, changed somethings up that I do not like. You can download at Grails website. http://grail-ss.com/GRAIL Website Files/T56 Install guide.pdf

 

[94MI9C1]

All if you have issues downloading from either place please email me direct @ mike.fetcko at gmail.com, my above email address that I posted in the first post is not valid anymore.

Thanks.

 

[94MI9C1]

About time man

 

[94MI9C1]

Tip....once you have the car up on stands, before removeing anything, measure from the bottom of front yoke to ground. note this distance and once T56 is installed confirm you have the same measurement (assumeing you have not moved car since 1st taking the measurement). if not add/remove shims between trans and trans mount. i can't remember if Mike's instructions note this.

Absolutely best thing that you can do. The latest revision Roger has it in there, at least I remember making sure it was

Glad to see you are going forward with the conversion Narc, you won't be disappointed.

Nice 6 Speed V, that shift knob looks awful familiar.

If anyone is interested in a C6 knob like his or what is in my car, I have a couple extras that I could sell.
