So before i did the IAC mod when i was shifting hard I would grind 2nd no matter how far i pushed the clutch in
did the mod and with the quicker rpm drop i dont grind at all
so obvioulsy its rpm related
does this mean my clutch is shot??? i pulled the pedal all the way towards me made absolutely no difference
new clutch time or what???
let me know fellas

Sounds to me like you syncros are gettin worn.

 

I am a decent mechanic but i'm not sure if I can rebuild the tranny in my car
the kit is only like 250$ but i'm not sure if I can do it myself
any input guys???

 

i wouldnt risk it. you can end up costing yourself a lot more by not having it done professionaly

 

Yeah, join the club. My car's synchros are old and slow. If I shift to second too hard I very often grind for a second. It's worse when it's cold. You shouldn't be hard shifting a cold transmission anyway, but sometimes when I don't even shift that hard (I guess I'm decently fast when I'm not even trying anyway), it'll still happen.

Let me guess, you have T-45?

 

i think thats it 2000 GT
i dunno i just always heard you could rebuild manual trannys easier than a rear end and I used to be into lifted Trucks done more than my share of regears????
I wanna do it myself but if its a **** i wont even think about it

 

I shift alittle too quickly for the mustangs. The IAC mod helps, when i had it installed. I felt my shifts much smoother since my rpms was dropping faster.

 

yeah the iac helped the shifting but the backfiring sucked and it had a very inconsistent idle!
thanks though guys
i dont geuss anyone on here rebuilds their own trannys??

 

theres a guy in the 5.0 section that rebuilds t5s. 94gtcoupe i think it is. maybe he can help you out even though you dont have a t5.

 

If it isnt grinding anymore why do you need to rebuild the tranny? And I wouldnt suggest re-building the T-45 anyways... they are junk... at least upgrade to a 3650... otherwise i say drive it till it breaks! And you will know when your clutch is shot... you wont be able to shift at ALL!
