So i had my clutch recently changed because i went turbo.

now after two weeks to a month, i noticed that my third gear started grinding at anything over aprox 2500 rpm. now this didn't happen right after my clutch was installed, it took like i said 2 weeks to a month for it to happen.

but heres another thing, i also have a reverse grind, but i always had one, even before the clutch install. It used to only grind 1 out of every 3 shifts in reverse,i could use to shift it really slowly into reverse w/o grinding, but after clutch install it grinded everytime, This isn't really a problem anymore because i always shift into first before i go into reverse so i don't get grinds at all when i do that, just thought i was state as much information as possible.

It also feels kinda harder to shift after clutch install, not as smooth to get it into gears.

I bled the clutch with a friend, it was my first time so i'm not 100% sure if i did it correctly.
(1. loosen bleeder screw, 2. push pedal down, 3. tighten screw, 4. pull clutch back up, 5. repeat.) I didn't use a hose i juss let the fluid squirt everywhere. i bled about until i drained the master cylinder 3 times, of course i made sure it never went empty. After i bled it, it was still the same thing.


I plan to bleed it again, maybe longer this time, try that GM synchromesh fluid, ( currently using Honda MTF). i alos heard something about the D series having bent shift forks or something o.O??

Is there anything else i should look for before i buy another transmission?

bump for having the same problem (minus the reverse grind).

You need to bleed with a hose attached because liquid stays in the hose, without the hose air backs into the system. Have you tried replacing the transmission fluid? Im sure a quality fluid will get rid of those grinds
