M6 Woes

[wooddaniel]

Im havin trouble with the M6 Tranny in my car, It wont shift hard into fourth, and sometimes loses pressure in the clutch pedal after hard shifting/acceleration or a combnation of the two. Im going to replace the slave/master cylinder and throwout bearing, is there anything else I can do while I have the tranny out to fortify it in ne way (aside from a new clutch)? Ne recommendations would be appreciated, also, what is the best shifter to put in my car?

[ss~zoso~ss]

you could change out the shift forks or have somebody do it, some of them are aluminum and arent very strong and prone to bending.

Yeah I was hoping I wouldnt have to do that, sounds expensive but oh well. thanks

Not a problem, one of these days, I need to do the same to my ride just haven't had a issue w/shifts.

I'm having the same problem with my car and once i'm in fourth it won't release it. I have to push the clutch in and then try it again and it will release it. It's really a pain! any ideas on how to fix it? some people say it might be my linkage tho so i dunno

So i took my car to my mechanic, and they told me nothing was wrong with it, so Im pretty upset right now, I have no Idea about anything to do with the damn transmission, Im going to just buy a new T56 and be done with it. Another 2000 down the drain for my love of the Fbody. I replaced the slave cylinder, master cylinder and the shift forks and still does the same shit. Maybe Ill just get a 4L60E conversion. This Is my 3rd manual and I had the same problems with the other two

I wish I would have seen this thread 3 month's ago I just did a swap the other way from 4l60e to a tremec 6 speed and i give most the automatic stuff away That auto tranny had 10,000 miles on it.. Thats sucks I could have helped you out. I got all the stuff on the inside cables,console,shifter,and crossmember.

Apparently what happened is my clutch was not engaging fully even though pedal was depressed all the way. I changed out the hydraulics to 2002s and put a clutch from a Z06 vette in my car, now it shifts and drives GOOOOOD

Glad to hear you got your problems worked out before going the auto route.

[wooddaniel]

Well As soon as I got the damn thing fixed, It broke again. now my fourth and sixth dotn work. Ne info on doing a 4l60e swap would be appreciated
