gear grinding

Blk01ponyGT · September 19th, 2007, 01:54 PM

ive noticed lately that at random times my car will grind into any given gear...today it was grinding into 4th no matter what id do and sometimes the same happens with 5th, i have an early 01 GT and if im not mistaken its a T45...if anybody has any ideas what that might be let me know...it also feels like its hard to get into gear sometimes too and just makes all kinds of knocking sounds and shit...ive never driven another mustang before so idk if thats just how these cars are or what

96GTRagTop · September 19th, 2007, 01:55 PM

sounds like ur synchros may be shot

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 01:57 PM

:homo

and you have either the t-45 or the t-3650 depending on when your car was built in 2001

Blk01ponyGT · September 19th, 2007, 01:59 PM

i was afraid of that...

02StangGToWNEr · September 19th, 2007, 02:00 PM

Yea I believe you have the T-45 if it's an early 01. And I agree with the other guys, your synchros are probably shot.

96GTRagTop · September 19th, 2007, 02:01 PM

u can find out with this if its a t-45 or t-3650

clicky

B0B · September 19th, 2007, 02:01 PM

if its not the synchros it could be a bent shift fork, since its very unlikely that ALL of your synchros went bad..

96GTRagTop · September 19th, 2007, 02:02 PM

he only mentioned 4th n 5th

Blk01ponyGT · September 19th, 2007, 02:03 PM

could that have something to do with my tri-ax? its mostly 4th and 5th that it grinds it but all the gears are kindof hard to get into most of the time

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 02:05 PM

depends.

is the shifter brand new?

and if you have the t-3650... did you pull the shift stops out of the shifter?

B0B · September 19th, 2007, 02:05 PM

he said any given gear though.. the tri ax is definately a stiff shifter, that could be what it is. is it actually grinding or just kinda popping into gear hard? cause that is a stiff tranny and a stiff shifter

Blk01ponyGT · September 19th, 2007, 02:06 PM

its the t45 im like 95% sure so i set the stops and the shifter is about 4 months old so its not too old and it actually grinds into mostly 4th and 5th...the others it just goes into gear really hard

96GTRagTop · September 19th, 2007, 02:08 PM

ur right.....my bad.

my friend had issues with his tri ax for the first 3 months of having it. Nothing Grinding, just had to give it a little more oomf in his shifts. My other friend took the car for a spin and even had trouble power shifting with it.

also, what kind of condidtion is ur clutch in?

Blk01ponyGT · September 19th, 2007, 02:09 PM

might seem like a noob question but how exactly could i tell if my clutch is going bad

HMUSN · September 19th, 2007, 02:10 PM

it will start slipping.

harder to get into gear

harder to stay in gear..

96GTRagTop · September 19th, 2007, 02:11 PM

throw out bearing whistling or humming....

real hi clutch release point.

sometimes when u try to move in first it feels almost like the car isn't catching gear right away

edit: damnit doc. u beat me

Blk01ponyGT · September 19th, 2007, 02:12 PM

nah my clutch is good then

+1

And I have even had cars stall out on me occassionaly when the clutch was starting to go.

02StangGToWNEr · September 19th, 2007, 02:14 PM

Maybe you could record the grinding sound for us somehow, that way we can better determine the problem.

Blk01ponyGT · September 19th, 2007, 02:21 PM

hmm...i can try..im in school right now so itll be a little before i can get home but ill definately see what i can do. but i mean its really not ALL the time...its only at random times it happens and then itll happen for the next 5 or 6 times ill put it in that gear and then go away
