Hi guys,
today when i was at the dyno after the 1st run, my trany started to pop out of 4th gear after releasing the clutch, and if i force it in the tranny would grind, and its hard getting it into reverse, i dont know whats the problem, the dyno guy said it might be the fork or the short shifter pins might need an adjust.....
did any one face this problem?????

 

sounds likemybrothers.. it was a synchro .. if you have to rebuild it yourself .. its gonna be a few hundred bucks .. if you pay someone expect it to be around 900-1000 in parts and labor .. but that sound identical tohis problem .. luckily the warranty covered it .. 1700 from the dealership ...

 

no warrnty coverage for me , my car is 2000....
but wouldnt a bad synchro affect more than one gear???

 

Not necessarily, each individual gear can go out by itself but usually they come in pairs for instance the 1/2, 3/4 synchro etc.

 

but would it defnetly be the synchro? or shall i start checking one by one (Short shifter, Fork,etc....) ?

 

Bent shifting fork, or one of the nylon bushings on the fork, 99.99% sure. First and fifth are usually the ones that go out like that, but it does happen to the other gears too. Usually happens when you use excessive force to throw it in gear (happened to me 3 times in different cars).

thanks man..

 

True .. my brothers was 5 reverse and 1st - 2nd ..

 

definately look at the cheaper fixes first. no point in having your tranny torn apart if you arent even sure its te problem (goes with all repairs).
