HELP 3 T-56 trannies in 9000 miles I have been through 3 6speed transmission in 9000 miles dealer refuses to repair under warranty. Ihave heard the transmission is not the problem it is the clutch not realeasing properly. Anyone know of a fix or have a similar problem?

Re: HELP 3 T-56 trannies in 9000 miles It Starts to jump out of 3rd the gets worse. Iam putting in a complete synchro kit from D&d And new steel shift fork. have heard the clutch may be the problem because it does not release completely and keeps pressure on the ftont of the synchro causing it to fail.

Re: HELP 3 T-56 trannies in 9000 miles Before I even read the post, I was going to say clutch diengagement.
Get an adjustable Master cylinder and bleed the hell out of the whole hydraulic system.

Re: HELP 3 T-56 trannies in 9000 miles ITS NOT THE CLUTCH, its the casing
put a clutch in it, and 3rd gear will still go again.
My freind had the same probelem with an 02 Z, at 3k miles he put in a Centerforce and still tore up 3rd gear 2 MORE TIMES IN THE NEXT 5,000 MILES. He finally gave up and traded it in.
Mine is going for its 2nd time, still on stock clutch.
Have them inspect the casing if you can. Tremec knows they f*cked up, but havent "formally" said anything. They will most likely try to blame it on you for "abuse", so be smart take off all the aftermarket stuff when you take it in.
Stick it to them, they're either going to give me a new trans or theyll be buying my car back.

Re: HELP 3 T-56 trannies in 9000 miles I have 20k on my 99ss with A LOT of abuse and just within the past 400 miles I have had a synchro problem with downshifting to second gear. I would definetly try an adjustable master cylinder.

Re: HELP 3 T-56 trannies in 9000 miles I was refferring to the actual case of the transmission. The case itself, was somehow made slightly incorrect, and throws off allignment of gears and shafts just enough that the car is drivable, but will wear itself out in a short time.
You know you have a probelem when you sit in 20 other six speed fbodys (98-00) and your stick feels pysically harder to get in, out and between gears. Its ridiculous.
