t56 first gear grinding I bought/ installed a used t56 from another member on the forum. It was supposed to have 95k miles and in good working condition.
I installed a tick speed bleeder with my new hydraulics and they seem properly bled and I have a good pedal.
If you rev the car in neutral then push the clutch in and try and get it in gear, it just grinds. took the car out on the road and second gear is also iffy but not as bad. All others gears seem fine. If Im sitting still, and put the car in another gear, then go to first it drops in.
Does this just sound like syncros/blocker rings?

Before you dig into the trans, I'd verify your hydraulics are good. On a level surface, push in the clutch all the way, put the car into first (it may grind getting in there) and then while the clutch is still on the floor run the engine through the rpm range. If you car makes any effort to move forward your clutch isn't disengaging correctly/completely and you need a good MC upgrade.
If that isn't the case try to do the rebuild before your gears are too beat up.

I re-bled the hydraulics using the tick speed bleeder. Nothing but clean fluid coming out, I filled a 20 oz pop bottle half full. The hydraulics are working as the should. With the car up on the 2 post lift so the tires are off the ground, I can put the car in 1st gear and rev the engine with the clutch pushed in with 0 wheel spin.
I wish sellers could be more honest about things like this. I mean its the 1st and second gear syncros, not hard to verify if the trans shifts into them good or bad.
