Default Tranny gone/ List of problems

Today my 98 SS M6 wouldn't go into 3rd gear. Also the clutch pedal was stuck to the floor. I also have a bad slave that leaks brake fluid a little. Got the car going and then everything let loose. First hard getting into. Second real hard. 3rd grind and Vibration. 4th wouldn't go in at all 5th and 6th ok Reverse Grinds and pops out. Clutch pressure was good. So what now thinking T56 rebuilds package 1A is there a better place or go with Rebuilds?

Know that it has been driven & tore up w/ bad hydraulics;
T-56 rebuilds would be great place to get an overhaul.
Then get a clutch & the complete hydraulic system replaced to protect that trans overhaul & to ensure it operates properly. The clutch hydraulics are they key to the longevity of the trans.

Y does it feel fine now I know it needs to be replaced and I am sending it out in a week. But why does it do that?

The master prolly has torn up seals. It will come & go w/ the fluid heating up & cooling off then the seals working or bleeding off pressure.

Your gonna need the new hydraulics for sure. The clutch if it is old/never done.
The trans is grinding & popping out of gear= rebuild time.
lots of grinding could be hydro problems but not popping out of gear. Coming back out of gear it is internal trans.
If the trans is coming out might as well do it all up right the first time IMO.
