Just today when I got back from getting gas. I got on it a little bit. After putting it in 4th. I pushed the clutch in a coasted for 10 secs then went to shift out. It would not leave the gear. So after about 15 sec it did but I couldn't shift into 4th. It was locking me out. These only happen for a min and then it went back to shifting fine. T56 Rebuild time???

First off injected whatever, you obviously don't know **** about the std keys. No,they are not pot metal and are a stamped-heat-treated steel. So , in fact, they are very hard( not soft). A worn 3/4fork( well known and documented concern) can get you stuck in 4th. This is because the sleeve gets over-extended . The keys( their real name is strut) break because of the load put on them to return under a stress condition.The fix is an iron 3/4 fork @rebuild. Some get solid/ billet struts but they are really not needed.

If it is sticking in gear( 4th is most common) it is really time now to get a rebuild.Locking you out of gear is the start but I would dig deep to get it rebuilt before you do more damage( and cost more). Little parts rotating in the oil can nick the gears.

Funny thing was, it came without warning, on a very easy shift during downtown driving. Something gave way and it was done.
