A couple days ago my tranny starting grinding gears really bad. Sometimes its really hard to get it into gears, especially first and reverse. 3rd gear grinds really bad , I have to match the rpms perfectly sometimes just to get the thing in gear. I was wondering would cause this to suddenly happen? My clutch (still stock) has been slipping for quite some time now, would that have anything to do with it? Bad or low transmission fluid? It's just kind of weird that it all of a sudden started to happen, it didnt gradually get worse anything.
 
Hey man, your problem is most likely your syncronizers for those gears, try this gear oil in your tranny: http://www.247-parts.com/leyline/redline_oil_index.shtml that shit should fix your problem, SHOULD. You can also put that in your t-case, and rear end Redline rules. I see your from Iowa aswell, what town man? I live in Mason City. later man - Matt
By the way, theres a dsm meet comming up in a few weeks in Des Moines at Hooters! :thumb: ttyl
 
Ahhh yes the nice little grinding. Now the brings back memories from2 weeks ago. I ended up replacing the clutch then when I t it all back together it grind really bad :cry: So I ended having to replace the synchros and the shift forks. The guy said it should work fine for me but that don't mean nothing
 
gsxboostin - What gear oil did you use (75w140, 75w140ns, 75w90, 75w90ns, mt90, mtl....)? by the way i live in dubuque, but i go to school in ames (right by des moines). I wish i could go to hooters in dm but im leaving the country this semester. thanks for the quick replies fellas.
 
I fixed it. I adjusted the rod going to the clutch master cylinder. Shifts much better now and doesnt grind gears at all. :thumb:
