my 99 ss just recently purchased will not downshift from sixth to fifth anymore. It worked fine when i bought it, i just installed a diablosport tune but i don't think that would have anything to do with it. It goes into fifth fine from fourth and has no problems in any other gear, i just can't go straight sixth to fifth. I have to go to fourth then to fifth, any help would be appreciated!

Never heard of some T56's doing that and others not. I've had two different tranny's and neither had a "lockout". The first one had issues downshifting into second, but upshifted just fine. I would think a synchro is going out.

There's no lock out on the T-56 for 6-5.
I was just ripping thru the gears earlier today and did a few drops to fifth to do some low speed passing 4th is reserved for some play and 3rd is the serious highway roll gear.
You have a syncro issue at the least.

The only lock out a T-56 has is for 2 and 3 during skip shift and the reverse lockout. Something is WRONG with your transmission if 6-5 is not working. Could be keys, syncros won't know until it's taken apart.
