T56 wont go in or stay in reverse?
Hey guys I got an 01 camaro ss and it wont go into or stay in reverse. The only way reverse will work is if I hold it in with ALOT of force, and even then it doesnt feel like it goes into gear at all. The car has 18,900 miles on it, is it possible I need to rebuild the trans or is there something else that could be the problem?

Could be a few things, and MOST of everything related to reverse IS in teh tailhousing, so you could possibly fix this, with tranny still in car.
However, it COULD be the key-way waaaaaaayyyyy up in teh front of teh tranny, on the shifter rail.
Now, I doubt it is that, but COULD be.
But reverse enagagement teeth could be worn out along with the things Merv said above...
If in need of a rebuild, but can't handle it yourself, you can always send it to my shop, and can get you rebuilt and upgraded at teh same time.

Thanks for the replies. Im still having a hard time understanding how this transmission could need a rebuild. Also to add to my description of whats going on with reverse. A few weeks ago when I last drove the car reverse worked fine. Then friday I drove the car and when I tried to back out of the garage reverse started acting up.

The Keys/fork-pads are the weak link in the T56 and are replaced with upgraded billet/bronze versions in higher-HP/endurance rebuilds.

Regardless, if you can't tell the difference getting into the Rev gate with the car stopped, engine running and clutch in, vs with the engine off, then your lockout may have blown a fuse, burnt a wire, or just gone bad..
