Tr3650 no 5th gear!!
As stated above. Trans goes into gear, but doesn't grab at all. Any ideas? Really hoping Im not looking at a rebuild. I can put trans in 5th and let out the clutch without stalling, its like being in neutral.
Trans is "new" to me. Just swapped GT drivetrain into my V6.

All other gears work perfectly, including reverse. Plenty of power, no slipping either. Its just fifth gear. I also installed a hurst shifter, no idea if that plays into it at all.
So it goes into fifth, I let out the clutch and its just like being in neutral. I confirmed this at a stop light, and had a REALLY hard time yanking that sucker out of 5th. When I engage 5th on the freeway, and go to pull it out there is a nice crunching sound.. Sounds like the teeth on the gear, but im not sure. Appreciate the help

Seems that the 5th gear selector fork is at fault, but the Hurst shifter could also be preventing proper engagement of 5th gear.

I have heard of people having problems with shifters before, but I don't feel thats the issue here. I can definitely feel it going into the gear via the shifter..

If the problem is the selector fork, am I looking at a complete rebuild? In your opinions, what should I have done?
I have heard of people just having synchros/gears etc done before, its just I honestly have no idea what Im looking at here.. Ive never dug into a Tranny before, not sure if I want to either.
