T-56 transmission? - 9/7/2008 10:45:30 AM    ZFITZME   Posts: 7 Joined: 9/7/2008 Status: offline Hey guys, I have a 96 Z28, six-speed. Sometimes it won''t let me put it into 2nd, I have to either put it back into first then back into 2nd, or put it in neutral, then to 2nd. Also, when i get on it and try to shift to 5th, it grinds???

As far as the 5th gear thing I have no clue. _____________________________ 2005 Dodge SRT-4 Stage 3-SOLD 2003 Ford Mustang COBRA 10th.

RE: T-56 transmission? - 9/16/2008 6:52:53 AM    lt4weeda Posts: 83 Joined: 4/13/2008 Status: online I say you have some worn syncros. does the car or at least tranny seem to have a lot of vibration when you get on the pedal? Before I had my tranny rebuild, my syncros were all worn out and if I went full throttle my shifter would actually move up and down about an inch. I had a buddy who was bougth a car and it had a little grinding between gears and a little gear slippage he bought an additive for his tranny fluid, fixed his problem, you might want to try something like that. _____________________________ 1994 Camaro- lt1 w/CAI, t56 6 spd Intermountain transmission, MSD Blaster 2 coil, and lt4 knock module (in reply to SpecterGT260) Post #: 5

It forces you to go from 1st to 4th and theoretically saves gas. Most people eliminate it because it''s annoying. If that''s the only problem you''re having with your transmission you probably don''t need to do any internal work. _____________________________ Moroso CAI/Kooks 1 3/4 LT Headers/catted Y/!muffler/Hooker tips. 17X9.5 Chrome Z06 wheels Exhaust clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WArqIB6esM (in reply to ZFITZME) Post #: 7
