Our Trannys Stink.
I'm convinced. These trannys suck. Everybody seems to have problems.
Tons of little annoying problems.
I thought that getting into another manual car would keep me from having to rebuild a transmission at 22000 miles....well I was wrong. Why oh why can't these things work like they are supposed to.
My reverse problem is getting worse, jumping and grinding out of gear whenever there is a load put on it. This is complete BULLSHIT. I know how to drive a stick, hell and toe, and double clutch....and this happening on a new car at 22000 miles is crap.
Sorry about the rant.
Oh, and I've checked the ENG SEN fuse....it's fine.
If anyone has any input, please help.

I feel for you brother. Mine has been in the shop for the last two weeks. It's getting an upgraded and rebuilt M6, master/slave, and new clutch. 3rd gear was worn, and the 5-6 synchro was shot. Only 45,000 miles.

Mine's got almost 80,000 miles, and its starting to have problems. Whenever its cold, I'll get a grind in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th unless I shift it very slowly.
Often times it will also grind 3rd gear even when warmed up, especially if I try and shift it quickly. I think the synchro is on it's way out.
I think a quality rebuild, with aftermarket internals, will solve most (if not all) the issues that we have with these transmissions.

Out of curiosity, what kind of internals do you guys recommend?? How much can this all cost me?

Why would you double clutch a T56?

I don't always double clutch, but sometimes, it makes for a smoother downshift than simply blipping the throttle...

replacement tranny
Rockland Standard and gear makes a wonderfull t-56 good for 750HP, and 900FTlbs. It has 31 Spline output shaft, Billet keys etc. They are expensive though. 25 and change I paid for mine. They are bulletproof though

What TransparentXL said about Rockland is true. Also try http://www.t56rebuilds.com/subpage2.html I'm getting the 4B package installed with a new master/slave cylinder, LS7 clutch, and Eldebrock torque arm. It will cost around 4500.

timberman, depending on the power level of your car you may want to look into an Exedy clutch pack. P/N GH01SD. IT is a single disc clutch with very polite street manners, and can hold 750HP 900ftlbs. They are very expensive but very high quality.

Seriously. I'm not a racer, I don't auto-X....4500 might be ok for you, but that is a lot to pay to fix a little reverse issue. I've been told a little over 1000 dollars to open a T56 up and fix basic issues. That's even outta my budget.

Would an adjustable rod on the clutch master cyl. be the saving grace for us all?
