T-56 Problems

Ok, I have a 95 T-56 (bought it 3 months ago) and I didnt replace the clutch and when i inspected it looked good, but I was unfamilar with the t56 and I noticed the throw out bearing was kinda hanging on the tranny, I didnt know there is a rod to hold it so i put fork on and tested, seemed ok.

Now I just test drived the car, when I put the clutch all the way down I hear a rwwwrwwwwrwwww, like the throw out bearing is touching the PP pretty bad.

My shifter also doesnt jump to the 3-4 position when i take it out first and put it in neutral, its a brand new t-56 PRO 5.0. The previous stock shifter did the same thing.

Now my last problem is I can't shift into 2nd, it will pop out and if I hold it in it will grind second gear. I can go in 3rd and 1st just fine but its real high thanks to the throw out bearing being goofed.

The master and slave cylinders are leaking fluid, already ordered a new one from gmparts. Anyone have any ideas on this one? I just pulled the tranny out and while its out is there anything I should check or could this problem be from bad hydraulics + throw out bearing

Sounds like the 2nd gear syncro may be going if will grind going in, and then pops out some...

How hard is this to replace or even check, anyway I can pickup a syncro? Please don't say "Go to a transmission shop" if I wanted to do that I wouldn't be asking on here`

Found the problem with second, i took the fork plate out and saw that the 5.0 stop screws weren't letting it into second enough (I did it the way they said, put it in gear and tighten the screw, back oout a full turn and tighten) but guess it wasn't enough. I still can't figure out why it won't spring into 3-4 neutral, anyone have an idea about this?
