Default T56 troubles....

I put this thread in the C5 fourms, but wanted one here too since the car is a C3... I just bought a '70 coupe, with a T56 converted into it. The unit is a Tremec T56. My problem is when putting it into reverse, it pops out atleast 2 or three times, until it finally stays in R. I also notice a "clunk" when putting it into 5th gear. Hope there isnt anyhting too wrong with it, i just got the car, and it just started doing it.

Does it pop back out of gear if you reverse and let off the gas without pushing in the clutch?

Sounds like the reverse solenoid isn't hooked up right.
