Hey everyone.
I am in a predicament. I recently bought an EVO2 AWD tranny and dropped it in my 6 bolt. The gearbox was disassembled and clean prior to the installation. I had a grinding problem putting it into 4th gear. Due to the lack of replacement parts, i sourced for a used 'input shaft' with all the gears intact. Dropped the gearbox and installed it in. 4th gear was great, but i still had grinding issues going into 3rd gear. ARRGHGHHGHG!.
Dropped the gearbox again, this time removed the 4th gear and double cone synchronizer from the existing input shaft and replace it into the first input shaft i originally got. Should be good right? WRONG. I still have grinding issues going into 4th!. Does anyone have an idea where i am going wrong? Could it be a selector fork issue?
All the synchronizers show signs of use but not chipping or cracking. How do i tell if a synchronizer is good or bad without reassembling the whole gearbox and dropping it back into the car?
