Definitely something wrong with the 5-6 slider and/or friction cones and/or keys or possibly the 5-6 fork and/or pads. That narrow it down for you? LOL

Unfortunately there is no way to tell until you pull it apart.

last time i read, tick performance does a stage one rebuild that includes... forgot oops! call them and they will tell you exactly what it is. but for $999 you ship them your transmission, they fix it, and return it to you. free shipping both ways! they'll tell you exactly how to ship it. there's like a 13 step process on their website. pretty simple if you don't know how to do it yourself. and VERY reasonably priced too!
