Pro 5.0 Question i was wondering about the stop bolts that come with it. On LS1HOWTO.COM they wrote that if they had the chance they would have taken them off. but what exactly are they for. i am guessing its so you don't run the shifter all the way or something? and how do you set them so they work how they are supposed to if you decided to use them?

Again, I'm no expert(or even close) just trying to understand what happened, and how to avoid it happening again and was told I NEED to use stops.
Sounds like you are experiencing the craptastic build quality of some of the T-56's. I went through three trannies, in less than 12,000 miles, before they got it right. Been on the same one now for almost 20,000 miles with no problems.
Never heard of fourth not having a stop. Why would they put stops in the other gears and not fourth? Just doesn't make sense. All I know is that the T-56 has internal stops and the stop bolts are not needed.

I use the stops. Put the trans in 3rd and then seat the stop bolt until it touches. Then back the bolt out 1/2 turn and lock. Do the same in 4th. Cheap insurance in my mind. Better to have 2 stops than just one.
