thorne Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Sadly this is my fault and I caused it doing what I said I would not do on this tranny. So here's what happens. It's had some synchro issues for a while nothing major. 4th to 5th liked to grind if you did not keep the RPM's up. With the lightened flywheel my rpms drop quickly. New problem Sometimes when I got from 2nd to 3rd it feels like third just anit there. Like there is a squishy resitance but I was not going to put any more pressure on it. Now If I let the shifter go back to center and try again it usally works fine. It only happens sometimes and I've not figured out the trigger. But I can make it do it if I go out and try just takes a few trys. Now if this is just the Synchros no biggie I'm going to have them done next month anyways. If this is the shifter fork again next month no problem. I'm just not sure what it is and I would like to have a rough idea before i have the tranny taken apart.

thorne Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 My shifting is fine when my transmission is not bouncing around in the car....... problem is when my tranny moves few inches and I try to goto third and third is not where it should be.

williaty Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Get Cusco motor mounts (solid metal) and a Group N tranny mount. No more moving tranny after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Its going to be coming apart. It looks like 12-15 hours labor. New shift fork and new synchros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonkiller Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Its going to be coming apart. It looks like 12-15 hours labor. New shift fork and new synchros Might as well look into a complete new trans if you dont wanna go into it again. New seals are a good thought too. Trust me might as well be the last time its taken apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 if you are going to up the power...why not upgrade then internals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williaty Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Seriously, call Andrewtech, tell him how they've failed in the past, tell him the gear ratios you like now, tell him your power and power plans, and he'll come up with the best possible box. FWIW, due to how weak the Australian Dollar is right now, PPG gears are going at like 40% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
