T-56 major problems need help???
Last night i was racin some built 5.0s and made the great mistake of dropin from 3rd to 2nd instead of goin to 4th yea i know. Well now i can smell exhaust fumes somethin horrible and i believe the tranny is knockin but i drove it 30 min home that night and all the gears shifted fine, my clutch seemed normall but the car idles at 500 rpms the whole motor and tranny shake and its knockin but i cant pin point it. I really hope u guys can help me out? thanks in advance. Oh and by the way i pulled 2-3 cars on the built stangs and got it on tape to so it was still a good night

you mechanically forced an over-rev.
Is the SES light on & flashing? (if your misfire codes are not tune'd out)

It is not a big deal ro get to the valve train. Just remove the coil bracket assemblies on each vavle cover. I connector & 5 10mm bolts per side. The back bolts are a clittle hard to access. the plug wires need to get removed/disconnected as well.
Then remove the 3 8mm bolts that retain the valve covers.
Then you have the rocker arms, need to remove the rockers & check all the push rods. just roll them on a smooth surface. The damaged ones will be obvious.
make sure you observe the proper torque specs upon reassembly.

Well i got the new rods, plugs, and wires in yesterday and wat a pain in the the back 2 plug wires are on the passenger side to get to. I had a 2000 z28 that seemed much easier when i did that one now my 1998 sucked. Anyways the motor runs smooth and great now but we also discovered the chatter as i suspected was a bearing out in the tranny. I guess its time to give sixspeedsinc a call.

Well i know this is an old post but i never kept everyone updated. I forgot to explain that even after replacing the rods the internals of my tranny are still fu barred. So i am sending it to sixspeedsinc and letting the pros build it.
