Hey all, When i get my rpms above 6K, my car grinds when i shift from 2nd to 3rd (i can still shift w/out forcing it, but the grinding scares me) - i think it is the syncros. How much does it cost to fix this problem and am i right in assuming it is the syncros?
yes synchros. what fluid are you using in there? i hear the synchro mesh by GM helps (its a tranny fluid)
Call up a tranny shop and ask. I know it won't be cheap beause 75% of the cost will be labor, and it's a pain in the fucking ass to pull a FWD tranny out. I was going to do this on my Escort because 2nd gear was hard as fuck to pull into... but I never got around to it. So I don't know.
do it yourself. fuck shops that want 1200 to fix it. i did it myself. i will make a write up when i have time.
thanks a lot guys, i think for the meantime, im just gonna double clutch on my way into 3rd under heavy driving.
