Ok, I have a LS2/T56 combo from a 2005 GTO. I'm using the engine for a side project and just installed the MN12 into my 2001 Camaro SS with new hydraulics.

After I get it all bolted up the first time, I fire it up on the stands to make sure it's all working right. Into first gear and slowly release the clutch and nothing happens. I look down and the shifter lever has moved out of first. I take the console back apart and adjust the B&M shifter as far rearward as possible and make sure the shift-stop is backed all the way out. That way the shift lever pulls the cup as far rearward as the B&M will allow.

I fire it up again and slowly release the clutch in first gear - good to go. The wheels move and everything seems hunkey-dorey.

Take it down off the stands and stick it in Reverse to back out, slowly release the clutch and all I get is GRIND and no movement.

Now, I know the cup in the shift housing is positioned differently (it sits further back, I think) in the GTO T56. I hoped moving the shifter would accomodate that.

Is my shifter still not fully engaging reverse and I need to switch cups or is the reverse gear shot?

Went out and changed the shifter cup. That seems to have fixed it.

Mods please delete my dumbass thread.
