im facing a problem with my t56 speed

its a chevrolet cr8 2009 model with 6 speed its a middle east version from the hsv holden in australia

A 2009 M6 in the states would be a TR6060, not a T56. Can you verify it as being a T56?

You seem to indicate a problem going from 5->6, but then mention getting into 5th? Is this the same or a different problem? Upshifting, or downshifting?

How many miles on the transmission?

Clutch wear will show up more in the overdrive gears, and reverse wears the most of any gear in the T56. Worn synchros will usually affect only one or the paired gears. I'm not positive from your description, but you may have a clutch, a synchro, or both issues going on...

If it's only 5th and Rev, the probably cause would be work synchros on those two gears. I would try changing the fluid out and re-bleeding the hydraulics on the clutch just to be sure (and/or check for clutch drag). But it sounds like you just need a rebuild after the hard 45Km life.

As I mentioned in my first post above, clutch wear will show up as more pronounced in the higher (5, 6) gears..

It's pretty easy to test by going out on the highway and get up above 80Km/hr in 5th or 6th and go WOT.. If the clutch slips, the RPMs will climb faster than the MPH..
