I cant get into 2nd in the vert very well anymore. When i first go back its like im locked out and eventualy the shifter will go in. Every other gear is fine.

I had a similar problem. Mine was the synchros were sticking

does it grind ? and can you shift it real slow to 2nd does it grind ?

Its grinded a few times but that was after i first got her back on the road from sitting a while. Now theres no grinding or noises of any kind. I guess the damage came when the slave went out on me and i had to fight it in gear to make it home.

A bad slave cylinder will always do a number on the synchros. I was probably just stick and worked itself free https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

what about if it grinds in to first coming from second? Like not moving I can go from second to first no prob but if im like a 10 MPH roll and I try to go to first it grinds. could this be caused by low gear oil in the tranny or what?

vosko 08-26-2003 10:34 AM

obviously check the tranny fluid or change it



if you get constant grinding syncro is in like 10 pieces. i have broken my share of syncro's and twisted shafts in the trans... not fun

The 2 to 1 shift problem is a combination of worn synchros, worn synchro clutch hub, and most likely worn shift fork as well.

I am having tranny issues myself right now but I am all too familier with your problem.

I have found in the tranny teardowns I have done (on N/A FCs) that the shift forks wear like a SOB.
