Does the car have an aftermarket shifter? If so, check to see if the stops are there...it is recommended to REMOVE the stops or back them out completely as the T-56 has internal stops. If the shifter stops are there and are screwed in, maybe all you need to do is unscrew/remove them and everything will be fine. Good luck!

Before thinking about synchros, check the shifter as this is an easy and free fix! Just because the knob is stock doesn't mean the shifter is stock...many people put the stock knob on an aftermarket shifter! Try removing the boot and checking it out.
