[quote=“Violator,post:20,topic:34060"”] you dont get it. If the cylinder pull is not adjusted properly clearances are a issue. Its not the synchros. Every gear except reverse has a seperate synchro. Chances of ALL of them going bad at the same time are slim to none. [/quote] The slave cylinder is not adjustable. If i shim it, it will accomplish the opposite. The designs of the newer t56s are diff from the older ones that bolt up to lt1’s i’m guessing. ---

[quote=“99\_civic\_si,post:19,topic:34060"”] there is a reverse lockout solenoid…if that wiring is shot you’ll have some problems getting reverse to work for sure…you can actually bypass that solenoid all together with some slight modification. [/quote] not reverse lockout. I’ve been running eith out reverse lockout for years. It makes it harder to get into reverse this way but it’s no problem. Reverse is IMPOSSIBLE now. it HAS to be pressure plate. ---
