Through a recent course of a hit and run for a total loss to my 99 GT, I just bought a 97 Cobra with a T56 in it that I have a few questions about.

1. The previous owner said the reverse lockout is run electronically and he didn't feel like spending the extra money for the conversion, so reverse is a b*tch to get into. Is it true that the lockout is run electronically, and if so is there anything I can do to get that in my sn95?

2. First gear is also a little tough to get into gear. It might just take some getting use to on my part, I had a 99 GT previously and this is the first time I've driven the T56. He said it would be better with the steeda quadrant adjuster. I don't think its anything with the synchros b/c it doesn't grind or seem to have any problems once in, its just a bit stiff. It also has the MGW short throw and I'm use to the Pro5.0, so could the quadrant adjuster solve this problem?

Thanks, Chris

 

I would absolutly try the quadrent first. Cheapest way to go if it fixs. Second is I to had that problem in my T3650. Though not the same very similar problems. Mine was a lot worse thogh and ended up being clutch. Previous owner must have banged every gear.

 

ya the clutch was just replaced when the tranny was put in...anybody else experience this problem with the t56?

 

...No problems with mine and I'm using a Pro5.0...start with the clutch quad. as mentioned ^^^

 

no problems here. i never had an issue with the stock quadrent but i put in a upr quadrant and firewall adjuster.
