i was wondering if anyone knew why my car would kinda grind going into5th gear it doesnt grind like a gear grind, u cant even hear it but ii can feel it but its only when im getting on it in 4th and then go to 5th. it might sound like a dumb Q but i wanna know . anybody have any knowledge lemme know
no other gears do it

 

synchros starting to go out? pretty soon it'll probably start making noise. and progressivly get worse.

now a question for you

how did you get your teg to weight 2250pounds. my 91 ls weights 2800 with me in it... no spare or jack

 

lol
lets see <list>
no a/c nolines,no condenser , no fan
no back seats,no panels in back
no windsheild washer fluid containers,front or back
no firewall protecter
no tar stock sound detner done by DC garage
no rear windsheild wiper
no center console, kick panels, or cd player
and last of all no spare,hatch cover, or antenna motor w/ antenna
its alot of work im glad i had some help tho i could make it lighter with no carpet and 1 racing seat but im good 4 right now lol

 

Yea your synchros starting to go out. There is a transmission fluid that you can use and it will prevent the grinding a lot before it gets worst. If you want I will ask them what they used and post it on here for you. You better hurry up and do it before it gets worst. Just let me know if you want to post the transmission fluid they used.

 

yea that'll be cool whats the name of the stuff?

 

Sounds like you have a problem with your 5th gear synchro. In the worst scenario, when it gets real bad you won't even be able to shift it into 5th at all. Your best bet is to replace it but if you don't have the cash flow yet. Just don't get on it from 4th to 5th for now until you come up with the cash to fix it.

GM Synchromesh fluid, get the Modified Friction type. It's a temporary solution but lots of members swear by it. I'll see how it works next week when I do my swap.

 

thanx dr.feelgooDC2
it seem to help out alot i just put it in 2day
every heard of redline gear fluid?
i got some of that stuff 2 but im not sure if itll help it out or not
i should mix both 2gether lol im j/k
i appriciate it

 

No problem. I'd just stick with the GM fluid... Redline fluids are ok but I don't think they were as good as the money you pay for it. I did an oil change with Redline oil and with a Mobil One filter, it came to over $50. I wasn't really impressed with the performance... didn't seem any different from Castrol that I used in my GSR motor. Now that I have a JDM B16, I'll just stick with Mobil One from now on.

 

yea i aways run mobil 1 oil with just a frame filter
i think there the easiest to get back off
im gonna do a post about the best oil and see what everyone thinks u should post
thanx man

 

i thinkin it might be the clutch release bearing go to ur mechanic nearest u and let em check it.... the more u drive it the more it gets worst...

 

nah stock_ls
it works now i found my prob.
my gear fluid had never been changed and i have 80kmiles on my car
but thanx for trying to help anyway
