Well I was finally able to order a SCIV kit with a 1056 the other day so i decided to get a head start and get the trans tore apart. It came out easier than i thought it would. I've read a few posts about the converter bolts being a pain to get out but i used a Matco 17" fine tooth locking flex head 1/2 inch drive ratchet with a three inch extension and a shallow socket and they came out without a problem. The part # is CFR17LFTMA if anybody wants to know. Its kinda pricey but it saves me alot of time almost everyday at work and a few times at home. I started a thread on here a while back on here when my tranny went out and people were guessing on what was wrong with it and so far the C3 clutches are burned and im thinking the converter is shot. I haven't taken apart the C1/C2 yet and the C5 look okay so im not going to worry about those since they only have 18000 miles on them. I also found the left rear parking brake locked up when i pushed it into the garage. Im thinking this may have helped finish the trans off cuz i could feel something dragging the morning it went but i figured it was the brakes on the trailer i was pulling and i was in a hurry to get home so i just kept going.
