5th gear grind on 5 speed


02 3.8L
all other gears shift smooth as hell (5th does at low rpms)
about 3300+ rpms when i shift to 5th it grinds as its going into gear.
its not hard to get in gear i just makes this grind sound and you can feel it on the shifter well
its been doing this since the day i bought it

The clutch is self adjusting on these cars and its cable clutch. if it only grinds on 5th then your syncro for that gear is going. time for a rebuild.

G-force can fully rebuild your tranny stronger then a GT's for round 2k with shipping and everything

but a new one can't perform as well as a G-force... plus they have a redone OD that is way lower then stock...

check it out google G force transmissions
