When I try to down shift from 6th to 5th for some reason the shifter won't go into 5th gear. If I down shift to 4th and then up to 5th it works fine Does this mean that my trans is going bad or what.

 

Are you certain that you are not hitting Reverse instead of 5th?

 

Positive. This has been going on for a year now. At first I thought it might be the worn out clutch that was causing it, but now it is still doing it with the new clutch. At first I thought it might be normal untill I askrd another T56 owner and he said he can go from 6th to 5th.

 

try going from 6th to neutral than to fifth. my friends car did the same thing.

 

Well I tried going into nutral before I try to down shift and it still didn't work. But I found out it will go in to 3rd Any other ideas. Thanks.

 

Any one have an idea?

 

sounds like your 5th gear synchros are shot. I forsee a rebuild to fix your problem
