Alex thanking us for hanging in for the gt500 content like it's such a chore to watch. Lol. Sounds killer...you should be proud of the work you've done to it.
While its extra work, you can “double clutch” and blip the throttle to “synchronize” the speed of the input shaft to the next gear up or down for relaxed driving
I'd love to have a Mustang again. I've had about 5 of them 2 of which were S550 GT's. I could have replaced one that I had, but I ended up paying off debt instead. Ended up buying a 2006 Chrysler 300C 5.7 as a project (engine rebuild) and completed it. I really miss having a Mustang though. Might try to find a foxbody and coyote swap it. Idk.
Alex, if it won’t go into first gear, don’t force it in. Apply slight pressure and ease up on the clutch pedal just a little and it should go in without banging the dogs. Double clutching is helpful like others mentioned, but isn’t absolutely necessary. You can unload the shifter by easing off the throttle, then disengage the clutch as soon as you’re about to pull it into the next gear. Or you can shift without the clutch like you yourself demonstrated.

@alejandroflores I been waiting for this video for so long, I wanted to see a FP trans on the street and it seemed very doable. Thanks Alex for the content
man you're lucky rob hooked you up with that center piece for dash, i scratched mine removing passenger seat, they're like $300 and impossible to find one that's not fucked up
Yep took another step backward. Always knowing it all, yet the man's cars are always coming up short or broken. This man is 90% of the reason why Ford won't speak to or give Lund access to anything going forward.
Impressive work you completed in a single garage,on your back,Cubans running all around you,,good job AF.That is still a race car.Thoughts on selling a few pieces and going 9sec blackwing?
Awesome job. Its taken a little bit to get it together but anything worth doing having is worth waiting for. Keep up the great content ant thanks for that....
Can you do a whiteboard episode about what a face flated trans or whatever all that stuff means and the differences in different types of manual transmissions.
Man that tranny is hard core. There is nothing smooth about it. I don't think I could deal with the thunking...sounds like it is breaking. apart. Car sounds good though.
Omg absolutely not. That is a horrible idea. You need all the tire you can get on a car with this power if you wanna use any of it at all on the street. 20s aren't gonna cut it. It looks sick as is.
@@YDBT4LIFE so if you ice tank pump gets air bound how do you purge it or does it work itself out by driving it around and letting it purge itself? Good content I appreciate the vids they definitely have helped me figure some stuff out! Can’t wait to see some pulls with the gt500😊
@@YDBT4LIFE thanks brother I have a trunk tank also but it’s a new mod to me so I wasn’t sure I’m about to put my engine back in so I wanted to make sure this was the case. It seems the more I watch your vids the more my questions get answered by listening to you! 👍

Yep I tried that a couple of times. Worked nicely
I like the sound of the transmission. It’s one of those noises where as a passenger you’re thinking “he means business”
I love how it doesn't sound obnoxiously loud👌🏿
My turbo c5z is nearly done and I actually miss driving the faceplated t56 in it. Can’t wait to see the Shelby make a lick
Shout out to you for giving us content while recovering.
It sucks. Lol but the show must go on.

Love the shifting sound. Like Statham driving the BMW in The Transporter❤
Thats badass Alex I could live with that trans no prob….. what a sweet sweet car I hope you keep it man I love the content you produce with it.
That’s what I’m talking about 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This makes we want a T56. Used to have one in my 4v swapped 97. Just like the direct feel of that trans.
Faceplated sounds cooler than gated, best ice cream car ever.
Pretty much at this point haha trying my best to run that 8 in the 1/4 then....I rest.
Thanks for the video. I've been wanting to do a dog box conversion on my T56 Supra and i think you sold me now.
Man, I bet that feels so satisfying when it smacks into gear 🔥
Love to see the car on the road! Sounds like a race car in there. 🎉🎉
Nice nice.. 👌👌 sec H8 almost about to get finished.. awesome stuff as always..👍
To reduce going into first gear clunk from a stop, go into second, then first.
Double chuch on the upshift will get rid of alot the clunk too.
+1 with double-clutching on upshifts during normal street driving.

Love the GT500 content!
I can see why you would need a fully synchronized trans for the street. Nice build!
@alejandroflores I been waiting for this video for so long, I wanted to see a FP trans on the street and it seemed very doable. Thanks Alex for the content
that trans is sick ! happy to see the gt500 back up and running
Is that Bryan Adams playing in the background while you chunk gears lol. Good to see SecH8 getting some miles.
Good seeing you enjoying the car again 👍
Congrats. Badass stuff, can’t wait to start seeing some pulls.
Thanks for another great video!
Crazy transmission should be fun! 🤙 🇺🇸
Throttle body tuning is a lot of work to get it proper you of all people I’m sure understand.
Content that I love
Love seeing you get the man pedal back in! Can't wait for cooler weather and seeing it at the track!
The THUD sounds sick.
This is going to be a fun car to enjoy
It's super cool to see you do it yourself, I know you hate doing it, though.
flat foot shifting with that trans is going to be fun.
Keep it up with the gt500!
man you're lucky rob hooked you up with that center piece for dash, i scratched mine removing passenger seat, they're like $300 and impossible to find one that's not fucked up
That shifting looks oddly satisfying
Good job Alex!

The GT500 looks really enjoyable. I'm trying to find the video where and if you said the T56 was geared different, and the final/rear ratio.
Impressive work you completed in a single garage,on your back,Cubans running all around you,,good job AF.That is still a race car.Thoughts on selling a few pieces and going 9sec blackwing?
He’d take a V3 over a Blacking. I would too.
In there
I’m a simple man. I see an Alex video, I press like.
I'm glad I don't desire to be as fast as uncle Alex....my car would look like Turvi's...😂
That shifting noise would get old
Real quick.
Happy to see the car running you look annoyed at the trans though lol
Dope

I'll try. Lol but TH-cam has tons of videos

motorcycle transmission is a dog engagement. No problem driving on the street daily.
LMAO. Love how you think that correlates to a car . Hahahaha
It definitely sounds like ass when shifting. Of course I am a street guy and that would drive me insane.
The want for a faceplated t56 13-14 gt500 is real
So glad I am a automatic person.
Manual is so much more satisfying. Auto is boring. You don't have to run faceplate even if you do it's not that bad.
Hell gea!!
What sticky tires are you going to run on the street now that you have a manual transmission
So much better with a manual in it.
Thats really cool, so you arent really using the clutch shifting into 2nd through 4th
Correct. It's optional really.
sounds like that transmission isnt ready yet lol
Do you know anything about faceplated transmissions?
@@YDBT4LIFEclearly not lol
30 views already 👌🏻
That car needs the chrome 20's with a sticky tire for street driving in a bad way....man I can't believe I said something so boomer-ish 😂
Omg absolutely not. That is a horrible idea. You need all the tire you can get on a car with this power if you wanna use any of it at all on the street. 20s aren't gonna cut it. It looks sick as is.
What Throttle body is in it?
Kb 168 got a good
tune on it now
Have you ever thought of using a water/meth kit to combat the weather down here?
With a full tank of water temps are normal and it has a ice tank for racing

Who built the trans
The only trans guy I use. Ben calimer
I guess it’s OK for drag racing for a street car this sucks balls. Can’t downshift it? Might as well be auto.
Yea I don't like that at all. You can go fast with syncros too especially when you can drive good like he does. My guess is he ends up with syncros.
Can you hook us too by giving us rob’s email or website
