rebuild kit for a c6 is only $55 to $75 dollars. No, the one from the t-bird won't fit, unless it has a 460. You could transfer the internals from the t-bird tranny to your case, but then, why not just rebuild yours?

You have to swap the output shaft and the transfer case adapter to the car tranny. I have never done that before, but I don't think it's as easy as it sounds.

Sorry I missed the 4x4 part earlier- all the internals will have to come out to swap tailshafts. So, back to the rebuild option?

I have a C6 that needs rebuilding. How difficult is this, really?
