how common is it for the T-56 to pop out of reverse as you start to let out the clutch? It feels like it never full engages, but if i lean on the shifter it will stay in reverse. It sounds like a lot of people have problems with this. Also, how much was it to get fixed? I am gonna tolerate it until winter then take it to a tranny shop, and i am curious to see what i can expect for a price. Other than this little reverse problem, is the rest of tranny pretty strong?

thanks guys

i had similar things like that happen in my dads toyota truck,

a mechanic said i had some bad forks or something, but anyway a quick fix for my situation was a new clutch, and i didnt see the problems any more, its been probably 1.5 years since i did that and its still goin strong, sometimes u can feel the problem but thats when its cold but it never really acts up

Mine does it. I either have hold it in reverse real hard, or what for it to 'pop' into gear, then it stays. A new clutch didn;t help me at all. I have heard it might be the syncros

the same thing happened when i had my Z. I heard if you change the tranny fluid it may help, otherwise you're gonna need new synchros.

Did that too, lol. It is still just as bad in my car.

My car has been popping out of reverse for over 2 years now, I cant even hold the shifter in reverse to prevent it from popping out, its coming out reverse no matter what. Syncro problem.... was told reverse doesnt have a syncro, oh well dont know. Researched problem while back and was told a roll pin was possibly backing out in transmission causing problem. Hopefully someone has a better answer than me.

When i put it back into reverse, it grinds a little bit, does your car do that to? You said u have lived withit for 2 yrs, i wonder how much damage it does? Hmmm....oh well, i am still gonna get it overhauled , i plan on tearing the whole car apart and dropping the tranny anyways, so it isn't going to be much extra work to take it to this tranny place i know. It would be great if someone could shoot me a rough price. I am either gonna overhaul the whole tranny, but if it doesnt need it, just replace what has to get done to stop it from popping out of reverse.
