Default T56 Troubles....

Well i didnt exactly know where to put this, so i thought i would get the best response in the C5 boards. 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. Thanks in advance for the help!

Blocking rings or shift fork pads are worn. Probobly the pads for the reverse pop out. Very common problem. Also recommend RPM transmissions.
