Default Having some weird T56 issues, looking for help.

Ok so if im cruising down the road around 65mph in 6th gear or even 5th all the sudden my gearbox starts rattling like crazy. I will grab the shifter and I can feel and hear it, even if I push in the clutch and put it in neutral. It seems to come and go as it pleases, just wondering if anyone can give me some kind of idea what is happening?

It starts in 6th, but I will take it out of 6th and go to neutral, then to 4th and 5th no problem but it is still rattling away like crazy.
Was hoping Amber would see this thread and let me know they think.

Hm, does it rattle in third or fourth at that speed if you don't downshift from fifth and sixth?

Almost sounds like the the pads could be worn causing it not to fully engage 5/6 gear. Since the pads and fork are so tiny it could be related to that. It is really hard to diagnose without looking but if I had to guess that would be it.

Does it do it in reverse also?

It has been giving me some issues as of late of going into reverse. No grinding or anything but I do have to fight with it sometimes.

Sounds like the 5/6 driven gear or housing. Have you put a clutch or hydraulics in it lately? What year GTO? We have seen a few issues with the blocker rings seizeing up causing this issue on the GTO's and it can break the tailshaft housing.

Thanks,
Amber

make sure that your shifter in properly. i have seen with the gto's that they have that problem alot with aftermarket shifters if it is not installed correctly. just something easy to look at before you go spending alot of money

If you still have it when you push the clutch in , chances are the problem is behind the transmission . Could be a driveshaft issue or something in the diff .
