3rd gear clattering

Nikemax21 · April 19th, 2008, 07:17 PM

Hey how are you guys doing. Alright here is the problem. I just intalled a tremec transmission into my car this morning and it works great except 3rd gear it clanks, clatters whatever u want to call it. But its only in 3rd gear. all of the other gears work perfect. I am really stumped. I don't know if the clutch is clattering with the pressure plate or the clutch isn't adjusted enough for 3rd gear to catch all the way, or if the syncros are shot on the gear. It only happens when I step on the gas, any rpm, any throttle. It goes into gear perfect, no grinding, nothing but if i do not touch the gas it goes fine no noise. Only when I step on the gas.
Thanks in advanced. Looking to work this problem out tomorrow. Any help would be great.
Bobby

My car does this in 5th, or whenever i should downshift and i press the gas instead. My problem has to do with the driveshaft though.. don't kow if yours could be related

Please share how you know it is your driveshaft.

Not sure it's exactly my driveshaft. I know it's either the u-joints, yolk, or the driveshaft is out of balance.
