Transmission rebuild

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)

 

Depends on the shop you use for the rebuild, and if you just replace the syncros instead.

 

How much would it cost me to replace the syncros?

 

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.

 

any idea how much the parts would cost?

**btw, thanks for all of the replys, they are a big help**

 

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.
