If you have shifter stops, check them and back them all the way out. Otherwise, save for a rebuild as either the shift fork pads have probably broken/worn causing the sychro to not fully engage the gear, or the synchro keys/springs have broken/worn.

Recently my 2nd gear was popping out. I needed to set the rear stop on the B&M shifter just a tad deeper and the problem was fixed.

If you are on a stock shifter, like already said, plan for a rebuild.

Well a sad note for those that have not set the stops correctly..... you will also likely need a rebuid in your future, as well. There is NO need for a stop-type shifter in a T56, as the guideplate protects from overtravel. Stops set correctly on a T56 do absolutly NOTHING. However, stops set incorrectly limit in-gear travel and actually cause damage. Bottom line...save yer bucks & dont buy the dumb-*** shift OR better yet dont be that dumb- *** that sneaks-up on the stop setting . THROW THE STOPS AWAY!

Yes the T56 does not really need stops on an aftermarket shifter. But for someone who seriously bangs some gears, the shifter stops can be set to COMPLIMENT the built in stops in the gate. If properly set up, there is nothing to lose and maybe a little to gain in terms of durability.

If the stops are set to shallow, what damage would occur as you suggested above? All I see is the syncro simply not locking in and jumping into neutral.

You really do not know what you think. If you induce a gear jump-out , you put a gross-kick-back load on the fork, and more importantly on the fork pads. So , there is something to loose . Stops add nothing to this ...or any other shift condition. NO! There is simply NO complimentry function going on here.Simply put... they sell shifters that have them with a uninformed public. Stops are a BOGUS scam on the uninformed end user.I really don't care about these with the exception that they are frequently mis-adjausted... this really results in damage ... thats the scam! Get it?
