T56 wont go in gear after missed gear... Went out last night did some interstate pulls for the first time since ive had the car had been waiting to get tuned. Anyway one of the times i missed 4th gear didnt think nothing of it drove fine. Was pulling up to a gas station and i noticed my trans was kinda stiff getting into gear shut it off for about an hour... sat in it with the car off gears go in perfect and smooth. Started it up and the gears were very hard to get in. I was still able to drive it home. Let it sit over night started it this morning to move it.. the thing will NOT go into ANY gear. I had to shut it off put it in gear than start it back up to move it. Clutch is a ls7 4k miles new master cyl 900 miles old new ls1 slave 900 miles old. Any ideas tick adjustable fix my prob???

Sounds like you still got some air in the lines. Take the master off and hang it below the slave and use the mityvac to bleed it so the slave bleed screw is the highest point and all the air will come out. I have had the best luck doin it like this with it on and off the vehicle.

I had a hell of a time bleeding mine never could get it all out so i pulled the trans out and bench bled it just like I mentioned above but i dont see why you cant do it with the slave still in the trans.

It may be your clutch. The clutch may have been slipping when doing the high speed runs. When clutch slips it may have gen enough heat to warp it. That hapened to me so make sure you check it.

dont know how much was done to the car but i had the same problem with mine just after a race, similar to what you are experiencing and my slave took a ****, so if you dont have any luck after bleeding your lines you might want to check your slave cylinder.

Car is going into the gears smooth now after the tick adjustable install! Havnt taken it out for sone WOT pulls yet but iam happy. First gear is still a little stiff at first but not too bad.
