Default T56 Question

OK last nite at the track i was just grude racing my buddy and as i shifted 3rd to 4th i hammered it hard into 4th. we cross the traps and u need to down shift b/c of the short shutdown. i go to down shift and im stuck in 4th gear i tryed everything to get it out. so i get it to the pits and let it sit for 30mins. we rocked the car really hard and it poped out. i drvie it home and it seemed fine. what is the cause for this happening. i shift it at 6100 going down the track all the time and never had this happen b4 WTF??

Shifter rail binding, maybe. Stock 3/4 shift fork probaly? Might of tweaked the fork, put it in a bind or slider could have jammed up on ya.

is that common for the T-56. i've read other threads where members say the T-56 is good for 500rwhp. and i'm only a 400rwhp

It is common to bend the stock aluminum 3/4 shift fork. If you shift it real hard it is possible. Maybe you shifted so hard you tweeked it and it caused it to stay in that gear.

maybe if you had more power you wouldn't have to worrie so much about shifting so quick to keep up with me haha


oh yeah and btw if i shift into 3rd at WOT it doesn't grind only at low speed so i'll probly drive it around untill i have the money to fix it cause i can skip to 4th and it drives just fine with my 411 gears
