Have a 2002 zo6 manual, won't down shift into third and keeps kicking out of reverse. Any ideas?

Welcome to the forum! We're really glad to have you. You'll probably get a better response to this question in the C5 Tech section. Sorry I couldn't personally be more help.

Plus it will help to post a little more info about the car like mileage, how long you have owned it, maintenance history, does it have the anti-venom mod, if so how many washers, how long has it been occuring, etc. The more info you provide the better chance you'll get a better return on info.
I'm no expert on the Tremic T56 transmissions by no means, but it sounds like syncro's are shot.

First step is attempting shifter alignment, it's critical to try before proceeding down any other diagnostic path.
