3rd Gear Grind?

PonyXpress · December 3rd, 2007, 11:44 PM

I was only having this problem from time to time. Now, from 2nd-3rd, it grinds all the time. That would mean I need to replace the synchros for 3rd gear? replaced clutch...still same problem. if it's the sychro...where to get parts and how much? Need help asap.......thanks

Sounds like a syncro. Might have to buy that from Ford

this problem i found after some searching is part of a tsb
the part # for the kit is 3R3Z-7124-AC .....does anyone know the cost? I'm in kuwait and finding parts for a manual tranny is difficult as hell. I don't mind ordering it

syncors a possibility, but it could also be a fork. i have had just about every problem you can think of on transmissions. when i had this issue (for me), it was a fork.
