Shifter rail binding, maybe. Stock 3/4 shift fork probaly? Might of tweaked the fork, put it in a bind or slider could have jammed up on ya.

is that common for the T-56. i've read other threads where members say the T-56 is good for 500rwhp. and i'm only a 400rwhp

It is common to bend the stock aluminum 3/4 shift fork. If you shift it real hard it is possible. Maybe you shifted so hard you tweeked it and it caused it to stay in that gear.
