M6 tranny questions
M6 tranny questions I know this should be in the trans and gearing section,but responses are
minimal there.
My third gear is gone.Problem started when someone else drove the car
tried to powershift 3rd and missed.
It would occasionally pop out of third on a down shift.
Yesterday it would pop out on every down shift and occasional upshift.
Last night it would pop out no matter what.
I'm guessing syncro?Every other gear is fine.
I have some more M6 records to break,so I don't want to step up to a
TH350 or 400(yet <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> )
Has anybody 'built up' a T56 with the viper parts,out put shafts,HD syncros,ect..
If so,how do they hold up?Any problems?Is it worth it?
I probably have 150-200 hard passes on the trans and I believe it would still
be fine if that powershift wasn't missed.
Thanks!

Re: M6 tranny questions I'm thinking it's the syncro's too, I was talking with this guy last time at the track and he said that the cadallac escalade had a compapable trans that was built all the same parts but "heavy duty". Not sure if it's true but that's what I was told and he said that he has no problems since changing out all the factory tranny parks to the escalade ones. Oh and he said that the heavy duty parts were only on the 4x4 suv's.
hope this helps

Re: M6 tranny questions I saw Chuck at FLP today.Probably pulling the trans today.
He'll fix the problem and throw a steel shift fork in.
Should be a couple weeks.
Hmmm,couple weeks down time.......230 reverse split cam? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: M6 tranny questions Good bet that the syncro for 3rd gear - has a set of weak *** tabs that hold in the syncro - which is the same problem I had in 3 other trannies. www.ddperformance (go to bottom of the page under GM T56) are outstanding in price and turn around time.
I just recently had my T-56 rebuilt (again) this time with all the good stuff - to include a new 3/4 gear shift folk. Rock solid.
Good luck

Re: M6 tranny questions I have no idea whats wrong, but since you are serious about racing, why not send it off to liberty to be proshifted. They have done great work with t5's for the 5.0 mustangs.
The only downside is the trans need to be double clutched for down shifting.

Re: M6 tranny questions 4:30 gears.
I'll probably step up to a TH350 next year.
But I'm not sure yet.
If Nineball's trans is still Okay,it can take some power.
So I'll do a minor upgrade for now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
