Default t56 feels like playdo/ no shift gate ?@!$@^&*

i have a T56 with 100K on it. car makes 494 WHP 512 tq 8 psi turbo setup. driving around town is perfectly fine. the vehicle has 01 hydraulics and a texarilla clutch kit. however on the freeway on spirited 110+ drives the shifter goes soft and wobbly, wont go in gear or feels like it has no shift gate. I can put it in 4th and still drive perfectly fine but the shifter just feels like complete crap.

anyone have this same problem or know a fix or what it could possibly be ?

pull the shifter out and see if everything is ok.
hate to say it, but it sounds like an internal shifter problem. i hope its something that youll be able to see/fix by removing the shifter

Thats kind of a strange one . Does the clutch pedal still feel ok or does it feel spongy as well .

Bleed your hydraulics... Clutch isn't fully disengaging after your "spirited" drives... Just had the same problem

that's what i'd say too.

take the cap off the master and see if the fluid is low. refill and bleed if needed
