Sorry, this may be a bit long winded, but please help if yo know anything about T-56's
Well as a few of you may know I have been having a lot of problems with my T-56 lately.
Earlier in the summer I blew up a clutch (it was origionally mis-diagnosed as a bad Slave cyl, but after I fiddled with that, Brat Motorsports finally pulled the tranny and discovered a blown clutch).
Well maybe 2 months of use later it started having problems again, not going into gear. Since there was a new clutch they replaced the master and slave cylinder, and they test drove it and it worked fine. I took it home, and 15 minutes into the trip it stopped working (wouldnt go into gear again, unless I rev matched it)
So I limp it back to Brat, and they pull the tranny *again*...brand new clutch with 2 spings broken, and hot spots all over the place. I even gave the thing a proper brakein, and didnt really race it (I was a bit hard, but not warranting that).
So I get a *new* clutch from McLeod (free thank god) and Brat installs it.
This time I dont even get the car back. Bill was driving it, and it worked fine for like a day, and then all of a sudden the same F-ing thing happens all over again. Bill even said the tranny locked up temporarily, yet the next day it would drive again.
So now the tranny has to come out AGAIN.
So this pretty much eliminated everything else....it has to be something internal.
So experts....what would it most likely be, and about how much should it cost to fix? Brat is pulling the tranny out for free, so all I will have to pay for is rebuild costs. Can anyone give me a general price range? Anything from one or two possible broken things to an entire tranny rebuild.
Thanks for your time guys!
