Update on T-56 issue My car is able to shift in all gears.. the problem is...
I seriously have to put massive torque on teh shifter to engage it in gear..
Like horizontal Bench pressing my shifter or something..
It gets stuck in any gear I put it into
Reverse, 1,2,3,4,5, ......I havent tried 6th yet....
Also when Im in 1st gear teh car kind of shakes like its going to run....
Another thing is.. when in 2nd gear and Im cruising or accelerating at a higher RPM like 2500 or above, the shifter is vibrating severly..
Now Im reconsidering what I need for my T-56 parts I was gonna originally buy..

When I used to grind it was synchros for sure. but what could cause extremel hard shifting. Its not grinding into gear, Just extremely difficult to shift..

First off torque is twist and if thats what you are doing to the shifter, you are doing it wrong. High shift load( that is fore/aft) and hrd to pull out of gear are aclassic sign of a poorly releasing clutch. Let this go on and you will also generate trans probs.

Im not twisting it. It was used to express the strength I must apply to move the shiter into gear... I dont poorly release the clutch at all... I powershift too much and now its taken its toll on me.
