    While running some errands yesterday afternoon, I noticed the truck wasn't shifting as smooth as it normally does. The shifter was searching for gears at times and now I've lost reverse. I have Stinkers first gen shifter, Viper hydraulics and 49k on the clock. I don't abuse it, but every known issue with these trucks has happened to it. I guess it's just time for the tranny to do its thing.

    Any recommended shops in the Dallas TX area? If I have to get it rebuilt, I want it upgraded and want a shop that knows the T56 well.

    Sulphur Springs Transmission

    good luck and if you call him tell him Brooks Harman (the guy with the red Viper pickup) sent you. He is first rate and will save you a ton of $'s.

    Sent Scott a IM. It's probably Texas Drivetrain Performance in Ft. Worth.
