JDM tranny...probs

[prodsm]

My tranny grinds in 1 and 2, and grinds in 3 only if I pull it out of gear and then quickly put it back into gear. Also its hard to get into reverse.
Im running GM syncro mesh in the tranny. This is a JDM tranny I got with my engine, I am using my original clutch. The thing is these problems were also happening on my old tranny aswell. The only differnt problem is that my tranny shakes alot when I take my foot of the gas, i can feel it shake pretty bad. It also shifts hard from gears 1-3.

Could the problem be my clutch?
Could the clutch need adjustment?
Could the shifter need adjustment?
Could the slave/ master cly be bad?
Could the tranny itself be screwed?



Thanks

First, change your tranny fluid. If you see any metal shavings, particularly brass shavings, then your synchros are on the way out. Second, I'm going to guess that you still have the stock flywheel, it's probobly shot as well. Third, the original clutch is probobly screwed too... and if the damage to your synchro's is bad enough that the gears are starting to bear some of the burden, then you might need a tranny rebuild as well.

The same things happened to me... I ended up getting a "new" JDM Trans, RRE X-Clutch, and Fidanza Flywheel. Got em' all for less than 1k so it could have been worse.
