Default Torn down trans, help me figure out what needs to be replaced

I tore down my T56 since im doing a motor setup and I need a little help from vendors and others to determine was NEEDS to be replaced. Only real issues it had was it got stuck in 4th twice a few years back, knocked it out and it was fine. Recently however it had trouble going into 4th at WOT and would also grind 2nd slightly at WOT but no trouble going into gear. I do NOT pull in 5th gear, fourth will take me to 150+. I am not interested in upgrading a whole bunch of stuff just because, but I plan on replacing all the standard **** (basic "stage 2" package) and whatever else NEEDS to be replace. Fwiw the 5/6 gear came off the mainshaft by hand.

I havent pulled apart the mainshaft or the countershaft extension but I can tonight if necessary to get better/different pictures

Magnets:



5/6:







Mainshaft:



4th:







3rd:



2nd:





1st:




If i need to take anymore pics let me know. pretty sure i have to repair/replace the main shaft as the 5/6 gear has more play than i think it should, not sure about the gears though, i really hope not if i can debur them

Thanks

What section of the mainshaft is in the picture? Any time the engagement teeth on the gear are rounded off, its a good idea to replace them. Is your shifter adjusted correctly?

IMO, replace 1,2, and 4th gears. 3rd gear looks ok. You may be able to get away with 4th if you don't want to bother with buying a new input shaft, but it would be a gamble. Just my .02

There are some guys with a good bit of knowledge and experience rebuilding T56s on here. Look up "the source" and "85MikeTPI." They were the guys I went to personally on my rebuild as I had a few questions on gears as well.

Might have to replace 5/6 and the main shaft. I'd say reuse the gears as long as they aren't chipped or unusually worn.

Let's see the engagement teeth, those are the parts that wear out the most
