5th/6th shift rail bent??? A buddy of mine is rebuilding my t56 with the stage 2 kit from Tick performance. The only trouble I was having was that 3rd gear was popping out. He found some broken keys, but other than that normal wear. When putting t all back together, he said that he thinks the 5th/6th shift rail is bent because t doesn't line up. Is this possible? I never had any trouble out of 5th,6th, and reverse. Need some help here...

Your buddy doesn't know how to reassemble the T56.

The only 5/6/R rail I've ever replaced came from a T56 that was used in a High School Auto Shop where students took it apart and back together hundreds of times and apparently used it as a pry bar during the last class.. No normal-duty
use is going to bend a 5/6/R shift rail.
I guess I can qualify has having rebuilt tons of T56s too, at 150lb est. each, that's about 13 per ton. To make it tons, I guess that's about 26+

Then why post here for "help" ?

I've had a C5 core with the 5-6 rail lever snapped. Never the rail itself. Undoubtedly to ham-fisted shifting when it wouldn't go into / come out of a gear.
