manual tranny question for the experts

what is wrong with a tranny if it keeps popping out of 5th gear and is sometimes really hard to get into that gear?

synchro?

this is on my friends T-56

if it was just hard to go in that particular gear,I would think a synchronizer problem,put popping out of gear sounds to me like a shifter issue,like either something is binding,worn,or out of adjustment

Shifter or a shift fork. Not sure what other gears that particular fork engage. Is it only 5th gear?

Best bet: Call "T56rebuilds"

713-937-4411

Ask for Amber and tell her Matt with SPEC clutch sent you.

The keys in the slider hub are probably all broken or non-existent.

might want to try to adjust your shifter, mine did that in 3rd, somthing you might want to try first before you rip out the tranny
