2G AWD Grind in Second

[slidesidwayz]

I know this is a common problem, but my 2g just started griding. Back info: One of the shifter bushing is missing and the shifter knob was loose. Would this cause or help cause the trans to start grinding during a shift?

Are my syncros completely worn?

More back info:
My car is a 2g GSX and the trans has about 100k with a rebuilt motor. I'll admit that I haven't changed the gear oil and I have had it for about 15k miles now. I dont know when the last owner changed the oil.

I ordered the shifter bushing and changed the gear oil. Will this problem magically go away.. What do you guys think. Any help is appreciated thank you.

it could help... good test to check synchros is too in nuetral with foot off clutch move shifter towards second gear... if car deaccels a litte means synchros are working... bushings wear out... rubber on shifter platform as well as the 2 on the trans under hood... i changed mine and it was a significant difference... it can always be a shifter cable/linkage problem but i believe that is less common then a synchro... if ## wanting to build then upgraded trans is always a good investment goodluck

I fought my 1g with grind and shifting issues went through 6 trans to finally figure out im an idiot and my bushings were shot... haha should have researched more and for not doing so i paid a hefty price :/

I'm in the same boat as you are, but mine grinds from first to second. I replaced the shifter bushings on the outside and it made a big difference, but the actual grind is still there. I got my poly bushings for my shifter-plate yesterday, gonna slap em' on this weekend and see what happens. Also gonna change the gear oil since I haven't gotten to that either, and add a little Lucas in there while I'm at it. I'll get back to you if any of that makes it go away.

Double clutch when shifting into second, if it didn't grind then its your synchros. Then learn how to drive like this until you can do a rebuild.

Installed my poly shifter plate bushings today, grinds gone!

Did the grinds leave completely?? I had to switch my trans out. I used redline mt90 oil to see if it would help. It didn't so I had to get a new trans all together. Ended up selling the car two weeks after the new trans for a 1g. Oh well.. BUt yeah my syncros were bad. It got worse very quickly after the first time it started grinding..
