m6 drivers
m6 drivers have any of you ever not been to down shift from 6th to 5th it feels like i'm trying to go into reverse... and no i'm not a new driver lol... but seriously just feels like i'm locked out of it but if i go down to fourth it's fine and then i can go to fifth just wondering if my tranny is bout to take a ****
any help will be greatly appreciated
any help will be greatly appreciated Have never once felt it hard to go from one gear to another, whether up or down. Might wanna check fluid level/cleanliness, slave cylinder, master cylinder before suspecting the syncros. That's the order i would check them.
What year car? Stock clutch? Miles?
What year car? Stock clutch? Miles?
it's a 2000 ss with 91K miles i don't know what type of clutch it has my friends said it's not stock or else it would sink to the floor after about 3-4 rounds of beating on it... it goes fine from every other gear just can't get it to go from 6th to 5th goes in every other gear just fine
Might wanna :
Bleed the system
Replace slave/master
To see if it fixes the problem. If not I would suspect the trans.
BTW, my stocker would do just fine taking many beatings in a row, so don't let that be your way of determining if it has a stock clutch or not. If it is a stock clutch then you might wanna look into a replacement. The LS7 clutch is freaking fantastic for the money!! That's what i have now and it drives better than stock.

yeah but if it was the clutch wouldn't i have trouble shifting into any gear this is just 6th to 5th and yeah i need to bleed and flush out the system. how much are ls7 clutches
$449.99 from S.Dickey for the clutch/P. Plate/Flywheel. They are rated for 550hp. When i originally got mine they were 399. The price has gone up a bit since then. They ship fast as hell too. 
And yes now that i think of it it would be all gears if it were the clutch.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
You know I just want to throw this out there because its has happened to me but have you checked your shifter? The reason I ask is that I hasve a hurst with adjustable stops and once the stop decided to move and locked me out of first, third and fifth. Also the stock shifter has come loose on me causing weird stuff like you described.
Just something to check and I promise its cheaper and easier than a rebuild

He's talking about adjustable stops located at the base of the shifter, not all shifters have it. It basically looks like two bolts, one on top and one on the bottom that controls how far up and down the shifter can move.
^^^ Blip the throttle so that the engine speed and trans speed ore closer together as not to shock/put extra strain on the driveline. Something like this:
