well today i was... getting on the interstate... and i slammed 2nd but when i did i noticed a small grind. let off and pulled it out of 2nd and put it back in gently and no grind. just did it the one time. any ideas what caused it?

[6ER THEN I 8ER!]

shift fork or syncro...overshifting's a bitch lol

[SlowSix]

syncro I would think

[Green_6er]

guess my next mod is a short throw with stops.

i'd flush and fill the tranny and run a magnet through the fluid to see if you have any metal shavings in it...then during refill i'd swap a qrt of fluid with a qrt of syncromesh

if i'm not mistaken then i think my dad flushed it when my sister had the car about 30k ago.

for the price of doing it i'd do it again just to check the fluid for metal...and to add in the syncromesh

cool thanks

[mustangmike!]

lol you could always try not power shifting,
Not enough clutch while shifting gears causes shit to grind

[Green_6er]

haha i only push the clutch in enough so it just engages then slam it then dump the clutch. i know, it's not very good on the car

[mustangmike!]

well then thats probably wtf the grinding noise was ... dont push the clutch in enough its going to do that man ...

Way to go ! New tech thread on how not to make your tranny grind by shifting correctly



-_- love you too

your not going to find any metal shavings in the old fluid, there is a big Magnet at the bottom of the tranny, that catches the metal so it doesnt float in the fluid... put some purple royal synchronizer in her, and she should be fine.

The magnet in the trans doesn't catch everything

not to mention the sincro material is a non magnetic fiber and just 1 grind wont leave a lot of gear material behind.

lol i push the clutch all the way down now XD but i ground the fuck out of third and 5th the other day because it just did not want to go into gear (clutch was fully depressed) so i slammed it into 5th with a very small grind. hasn't done it since though. kind of weird.
