t-56 stuck in 5th? Hello.
My transmission I believe is dead.
Like the title says, she's stuck in 5th. A few nights ago I was driving it and for some reason it wouldn't stay in 6th gear on the highway. So I put it in 5th, which also felt funny, but way less funny than 6th. Upon decelleration, I noticed it was not coming out of fifth. I did as much as possible to get it out and finally succeeded. The next day I attempted driving it to a local Transmission shop and noticed that every gear felt mushy or sloppy but it still drove. So after the guy fiddled with it for a minute...it was permanently stuck.
Now, I had it towed back to my house and am about to initiate the transmission removal sequence. I may be taking pictures and stuff. Hopefully I can figure this out. Any input on what it might be? Thanks.

So, I pulled the trans, brought it to the local transmission shop. They're quoting me $2,005 in parts+labor to fix it. Supposedly my only other option from them is this "650tq" remanufactured T-56 for $2100 from someplace in ny or nj this guy deals with. I'm stumped. Should I take it back and send the core to sixspeedsinc? Will they take a supposed "completely fubar'd" trans?
Frustrated as hell.

I found out that the Company is Rockland Standard Gear. Which after researching is a pretty reputable company.
When I asked what was actually wrong with my transmission, they kinda gave me a runaround explanation. I ended up getting the that whole countershaft is bad? The 5-6 slider and pretty much everything to do with 6th is junk. Oh well. Thanks for your input/sympath thus far.
