T56 shift problems from 1 into 2. I'm looking to buy a 2000 SS, 6spd, 110k miles, putting out 500hp at the crank/440 to the ground. Supposedly has a spec stage 3 clutch disc and a spec stage 2 pressure plate. Factory gm master/slave cylinders. Guy said that shifting from 1 into 2 sometimes requires "double clutching" as he put it. He also said that the clutch engages very close to the floor, like 1/2 inch to be exact. My questions are
1.) Can a stage 3 disc be paired with a stage 2 pressure plate?
2.) Is this combination causing the shifting problems?
3.) Is the master/slave assembly causing the problem?
4.) Or am I looking at a tranny rebuild and new clutch install?
I don't want to drive 3.5 hrs, buy this car, and have to rebuild a major component like the tranny. Having to install a new clutch, I can handle.

Is it priced to consider the fact the new owner is going to need to fix an unknown transmission issue that may include removing the trans and buying some parts?
If it just needed to be bled or flushed you would think the seller would do that so the car would shift properly so he can sell it and move on...in other words you should assume the worst while hoping its simple and the seller isn't willing to put in the effort to fix it , either way if the problem hasn't been diagnosed you need the purchase price to reflect a worst case scenario.

Also if I were negotiating with the guy I would put it to him just this way "hey if it was a simple fix you probably would have already done it so I need to assume the worst"
You can question someone and still be polite and non accusational just ask him to put himself in your shoes and hopefully you can get it at worst case price and through research on here fix it with an adjustable master , bleeding,etc... Knowledge is power lol
