Suggested for all manually shifted racecars, faceplating is a procedure very similar to proshifting, but much more durable and longer lasting. Faceplating completely eliminates the possibility of missing a shift by removing the stock synchronizers and opening up the engagement window for faster, higher rpm shifting. This is definitely the way to go if you have a T56 in your racecar and you're looking for the quickest shifts possible. Due to the harsh nature of this process, we do not recommend this option for cars that see any street driving.
If you go onto liberty transmission they say that they last much longer than proshifted and don't tend to burr up the gears like the proshifted but they still wear at a much much faster rate that synchros and need to be maintenanced just the same just last you a little bit longer.
