My stock T56 will not shift above 6600 very well if at all, is there a synchro mod or custom part that will fix this?
TIA

I shift right about there. There are a few things you can do. The main thing that helped for me was the mcleod m/c with the drill mod. At that point I could hit shifts at 6600, but it wasn't smooth. I switched from redline atf to some generic dexron 3 fluid and it was 1110% better. It's still not as smooth as I'd like but I hit shifts just fine.

Thanks Joe, i run GM Dexron 3 not any synthetic slippery stuff. You are shifting same as me, but im looking to rev higher especially after i increase cam size on my daily driver. 7000 is going to be target rpm, but it wont shift there now, i do have drill mod presently.

I add 1 bottle of limited slip additive in. seems to help

RedWS6 00

Wow they are high shift RPM's, never tried shifting over 5500 yet, as the engine is 96K old not sure of the service history I suppose I have been playing it safe. What is the rev limiter usually set at on a 2000 Trans-Am WS6?

Higher temperature clutch fluid might help if the clutch is draggin.

stock master (threaded the rod and cut out the internal stop to make adjustable) and just the drill mod

I shift at 6900 and I haven't had a problem and I have been doing it for 2 years now. I have a Mcleod master but it isn't drilled out and I haven't changed any fluid. You shouldn't need to change anything to be able to shift that high.

The key is having properly working hydrualics. I was shifting my last solid roller at 7300+ a few times and everything went fine. I would recommend an adjustable m/c with ANY clutch you install. The '02 m/c works well with some clutches, but the Mcleod is the better piece in my opinion.

I used the Mcleod adj. m/c with no drill out mod and the Rev-lok II clutch setup.

It's probably at 6200 rpm; was for my 2001.

Thanks Jason, would you say you lengthened rod over stock rod's length with adj. master? Is that the stock setup's problem? I have 2001 car, isnt that same as 2002 ZO6 setup?

my car has a really hard time shifting past 6000 RPM also.....

I have a Spec stage 3 clutch, 01 (stock) slave, and have done the drill mod...

I run high temp (motol) fluid in the hydrolic system and have the GM Dexron 3 (which helped some).....

would the Mcleod adj. m/c help the trans shift better and how?
