Help me please. Need new Tranny, c52-c56 Options

[airfron]

I've done a few searches on the forums and am not satisfied with the results. What are the main differences between the c52 and the c56 transmissions?

I know that they are interchangeable and was told by a few shops that they would be the same price. I am purchasing a newly rebuilt tranny because after having mine rebuilt last year by a local shop i have encountered more problems yet again with my transmission and find that it would be more cost effective to replace the whole unit.

After some searching i found this chart showing the gear ratios for all c series trannys. Looks like one difference is the gears are different in 3rd and 4th.
