Default trany problems(t56) ugh!

if the car is say...sitting at an idle, and i move the shifter towards 3rd gently, it grinds, same with 4th. it grinds also. along with the fact that now it seems to get stuck in 4th all too often. happened out of nowhere (casual driving)
this pretty much all started last night.
any ideas???

What's it do when driving? Any grinding then? Might have lost the keys in the slider...

Don't grind fourth. That's an expensive gear to replace, (it's the input shaft).

Shoot a pm to, or call, Amber at SixSpeeds Inc. She is very helpfull and will answer all your questions.

Definately sounds like the keys in the slider assembly are fubarred and need to be replaced along with the syncro rings and update the shift fork as well .

I ended up replacing 1-4 gear, rear main shaft, and using sixspeedsinc's 5A rebuild kit with bronze 5-6 fork pads. Good luck!
