T56 issue
Hi guys. My T56 is giving me some fits. It started to grind a little when shifting into 4th gear. This is on a 2002 Z28. Now on top of that, if I shift into 4th, it wont let me down shift to 3rd. I either have to up shift to 5th or down to 2nd before I can go back into 3rd. The car only has 69k miles. Any ideas? Thinking the shift fork is bent possibly? Also I'm getting ready for thsi fall to tear this thing down and build a boosted stroker motor. Should I invest money on sending the T56 away to have it beefed up or go another route? Thanks for any help.

Forgot to add that I'm building this for more fun than anything. It may see the track a few times a year, but will spend most of its time on the street. Thanks

3-4 fork is a likely candidate. Upgrade to the steel fork
may not be your only problem but having the T56 gone through will deal with issues like worn syncros if they are contributing to the problem

If the fork is the only problem when you pull it apart a rebuild with new synchros should be fairly cheap and get you a good feeling trans. If you start replacing a lot of hard parts the cost of a magnum starts to not seem so crazy. In retrospect I wish I had just swapped to a magnum instead of the rebuild.
