trans problem
trans problem 30,000 on the car. I put it in first gear, dumped it at about 1500 got on it and spun the rpms up , then went to go into 2nd, the clutch pedal stayed to the floor and going into second just grinded like a mother fcker. Afterwards I couldn't get into my second gear and thought It was gone. Then I knew my clutch was burnt, not real bad but under load shifting it just goes. I pulled over and just drove around messing with the gears mainly first and second to check on the throw and make sure it was ok. Second eventually was opened and I could get into it, Not very easily but its there. So why did it do this. I went back out to make sure my clutch was a goner, got on first spun then shifted second ( it went in this time i made sure ) then the pedal was down again to the floor stuck and i was going no where. Clutch under load is a goner for sure. What would you guys do in this situation. Should I buy a brand new t56 , pull this one and get it looked at or what , I know I need a new clutch which I'll be searching the boards in a few minutes for which to get. Gosh this upsets me 
poor car. What happened here? clutch didn't perform and i was shifting clutchless?

Check to see if you're leaking any fluid from the resovoir by the firewall. I had this same problem and it was because my slave cylinder went out.
Nothing wrong with the transmission or clutch. I replaced the slave cylinder and master cylinder and started running DOT4 fluid and I havent had any problems since.
Thats what I would check first, you could save yourself alot of money, a slave cylinder is alot cheaper than a clutch/tranny.

This is not a trans problem but it will quickly become one. Your hydraulics are not functioning properly. If you have darkened/ low oil this is an indicator. If you have the line too close to the exhaust, it is most likely the cause. If you have not done a drill mod to the feed line you will continue to have problems.
Shfting while the wheels are spinning will take the life from any manual trans.
