Castlemaine Rod Shop t56 gearbox conversion and t56 info

Hey im currently doing a t56 conversion and was looking to use a castlemaine rod shop conversion. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them and their quality of bellhousing as of recent. Ive read a few good and bad reviews from the past years so wondering if anyone has any first hand info and if anyone has used a mantic clutch??

This is all going behind a 1jz (close enough to an rb) in my s13 drift car looking to make 600hp. 

Also wondering if anyone can give me any more info on my t56, its a 2009 ve SS box but missing a shifter and there is too many t56 im unsure which shifter and accessories I need but I need the shifter 200mm back from the current location.

I chose to ask here (although not expecting much knowledge of this) because ive been a member here forever and didnt want to go sign up to holden forums if someone here could possibly help!

VE's came out with a TR6060 tremec tranmission. They use a remote mounted shifter setup.

Have also tried 2 mantic clutches in cars that customers have supplied. I am not a fan of how they engage in a street driven car, but in a track car they will be perfect
