I didnt read the entire thread, but if no one has mentioned it - I suggest changing your transmission fluid. Use GM Syncromesh w/ Friction Modifier. I actually use this in my Jetta, and it hasnt grinded ever since. ---

[quote=“jeeves744,post:30,topic:26226"”] that would be bad…you use ATF in a t56 [/quote] Just out curiousity, why is that? I heard several guys using gm syncromesh in their t56 to improve shifting. I’m assuming the friction modifier may wear components? Albeit the gear teeth are very hard, the grinding itself is going to do more damage.
