noobie t56 question
i just bought a 2000 z28 with a t56. it has 90,000 miles on it and while driving home i noticed the car does not like to downshift to 4th or 3rd gear it grinds a little and then falls into gear. is this a problem for anyone am i going to have to rebuild it soon is it low on fluid? any help would be useful.

The T56 is very well known for 3/4 shifting issues as stock . Replace the fork with a steel one and replace the 3&4 rings and the issue should get a lot better .
Of course I'd try the fluid change first but doubt thats going to do anything in this situation .

yeah just changes the fluid and it makes slightly less noise i only drove about ten miles so i dont know maybe it will still get slightly better but it just makes a skight grinding noise when i enter third or fourth gear on a downshift.

Sounds like the blocker rings are worn. If the fluid change didn't fix the issue you are due for a rebuild. Do it before it gets worse or the cost goes up. Replace the 3/4 fork with the steel one, use the carbon blocker rings, do the billet 3/4 keys and bronze fork pads and you will have a nice stout transmission.
