Pretty cool. I've had my FWD 5spd apart a million times but haven't opened up my T56.
Glad to hear about the towing. The NV4500 in my truck is a beast, but it's good to know I can tow tools and tires if I ever do Drag Week in the Camaro.
And as far as ratios, the T56 is heaven compared to the NV4500. The splits on the 5spd drive me crazy. Pulling hills with a trailer it always wants to be between 4th and 3rd. And you really do have to wind out the first few gears so the next one doesn't fall on its face. Although the granny low can be nice sometimes. I even put a rocker switch in the front axle actuator so I can have 2LO. Just let the clutch out and it creeps.
