Hi Mike,
Sorry about that. Richmond is a manufacturer. There was a thread going at
the end of December on a T56. I have seen Richmonds in the Summit catalog,
but have not looked close enough to tell if any would fit our application.
I should contact Richmond directly and see what my options are now, so when
the time comes, I'll be ready.
My original tranny shifted rough also. The second one is better in that
respect. I never got any details on what was actually wrong with the
tranny. Just heard that the mechanic didn't like the way it looked once he
got it torn down. I ask what didn't look right. The reply was EVERYTHING!
I had given thought to taking this one in and get it looked at, but changed
my mind. Just going to wait till it fails like the first one. I don't
want some half patched up tranny just postponing what will inevitably happen
anyway.

Rich, what's a Richmond? Is it an aftermarket transmission, or a company
that custom rebuilds them? Or what?
My trans was bad from the factory. They replaced it quick but the new one
doesn't shift well and has stuff rattling around in it. (I think final
drive play) I'm going ot lean on the dealer some when I get time, but
am curious about replacement/rebuild options for the future.
Thanks,
mike
