Jeremy Member 112 Member For: 17y 9d Gender: Male Location: Perth mindaz Posted 16/06/08 10:16 AM Share Posted 16/06/08 10:16 AM hey guys, dunno if any1 else experiences it... but in my T56 6 speed, when trying to hard shift to 2nd gear it tends to not let it go in.. if I go slower and smoother it will.. but if im frying the tryers and try to shift to 2nd it just wont physically let me shift... ive only noticed this problem since ive had the malwood clutch in and had it tuned to 288rwkw... any other gear its fine.. its just a lil funny with 2nd gear... and also now and again if I start up my car it wont let me go into reverse unless I move the gear stick from side to side in netural.. then it lets me... any ideas?

Redline is known for killing t56's IIRC the composite synchro's dont like it.Also make sure your gear stick is tight on the box. Althought the symptons of the hard shifting/gear selection first thing in the am sound like an oil issue Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/46725-2nd-gear-problems/#findComment-694128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from my experience with Redline in the engine and gearbox that it has a far better reputation than it is entitlled to.
