T-56 Six Speed In my Third Gen Issues..HELP PLEASE!
I have a t-56 out of a 1995 z28 in my 1985 Iroc-Z. It has been in there for about 5-6k miles. When I put it in the car I put new cluth master and slave cylinder on it, new fork, new centerforce flywheel, Spec stage 2 clutch. I recently started hearing a grinding or a scraping noise coming from the bellhousing area when he clutch is pushed in trying to go into some gears. It doesnt happen all the time, just some times. It will make the noise until you let out on the clutch. I'm not sure if anyone has ran into a problem like this before but if you have please let me know what you found. I also was wondering about the skip shift on the tranny. What is it and what is it for and could it become a problem is it is just on there and not hooked up at all?? I don't have any kind of power running to it bc it is in my 85. Thanks for the help. I also just noticed that the rod that slides in and out of the master cylinder is not straight, it goes in and out at an angle. I was curious if anyone knows about doing this 6 speed swap into a third gen and if I was suppose to use pedals out of a third gen, or am I ok with using the 95 Pedals like I did? Thanks for the help.

Re: T-56 Six Speed In my Third Gen Issues..HELP PLEASE!
The skip shift won't be any problem since it's not hooked up. You can remove that solenoid and use a readily available plug in the hole. Cost was $3.69 at Auto Zone for the plug.This is one of the most common swaps for a 3rd gen. I just completed my T56 swap last week.
It's a long read but look at this thread. It may give you some answers to the questions you asked. And yes, 4th gen pedals are ok to use. I'm thinking of trying s set to correct a high clutch pedal engagement problem that's common using 3rd gen pedals and 4th gen hydraulics.
