i hate t5's

SO yeah, i was having the problem with the tranny getting stuck in gears, and everyone said bleed the lines...so i did...and it didnt work, and i reallized there was a hole in the hydrolic line...so i got a whole new master cylinder, and slave cylinder and hose, and it still wont go into or come out of gears nice...you can hear the clutch grinding when sitting still in gear with the clutch pedal down..i dont know what to do? i think i might bring it to a tranny shop tomorrow and just have them fix it...i have about 800 bucks, i dont think thats enough to find myself a decent t56...i need to shut this t5 down

Try adjusting the clutch pedal first.. and also check the clutch fork to make sure its not out of whack... if it isnt within factory specs, maybe its not fully enagaging the clutch.

It's not the transmission's fault. You're having hydraulic problems. These systems are a c*ck sucker to bleed properly, and from the sound of it, you still haven't gotten anywhere near enough air out of the system. When you bleed it, don't pump 3 times and hold like you do with brakes. All it does is pulverize the air in the lines and make it harder to get out. Do one slow pump and hold while the screw is opened. Close the screw, wait a minute, then do 1 slow pump again. Just repeat that procedure once or twice or 50 times.

If it comes to it, buy a complete master/slave system from GM. These systems weren't designed to be serviced, which is why GM only sells the full, pre-bled assembly.

Considering that the T56 has a similar hydraulic system, you might as well learn how to work this one.
