My LS with Tko transmission will go into 5th sometimes but not out. When it doesn't go into 5th it will groan for lack of a better word. It isn't a grind, like gears usually make. You can pull on the shifter hard and it will just move around afterwards, but still be struck in 5th. I can get it out of 5th with a prybar on the shift rod. Midshift conversion, McLeod hydraulic throwout bearing and new clutch. Thoughts? I can't be the only one this has happened to. Makes me want to park it for another year.
