Quick rundown of parts in question....

SPEC Stage 4 clutch
Upgraded Hydraulics
Spohn floorpan mounted torque arm
Poly Trans Mount
Poly Motor Mounts

I have been getting a bad clunking when engaging the clutch or on decel. Also happens on bumps. If I didn't know better, I would say it is a bad trans mount at this point. (It's fine.. been checked). Sounds/Feels like the trans is bouncing around though.

Now today, I pull it out on the highway and put it in 5th. On accel/decel the shifter moves.... A LOT, enough to pull it out of gear when really standing on it. 6th gear will not engage fully. When I release the clutch in 6th, she grinds.

So... in here lies my theory. Can someone tell me if it's at all possible? If not, what would be YOUR theory?

Say the torque arm was WAYYYYYYY out of adjustment. Could this be causing enough binding in the driveshaft to lift up on the transmission? Or heck....push down on it even with polys?

Only other theory I have ****eeek****, time for a tranny rebuild

TIA for any input!!!

 

bump..... anyone?

Also, anyone that has had a t56 built by DRC in Elk Grove IL please chime in
