If its grinding or poping out of gear does that mean its a clutch or trans problem? Thanks for the headsup. Anything you could tell me would be useful.

Every T56 I've test drove has "growled" when I started in first gear (the more I slip the clutch the less growl it made). Shift through all the gears. Shift fast/hard through the gears. Go WOT and shift. That is the best advice I can give. Don't be afraid to do to the car what you WILL do to the car 
.
Good luck. Happy LT1'ing.

Test when warm. I've noticed that the clutch engages/disengages slower when cold on my 98. Can cause grinding going into 2nd. I think it's the hydraulic fluid flowing slowly thru the line to the slave. Haven't done the drill mod yet.
