apparantly GSR trannies are infamous for grinding 3rd, but mine never did it before i put the new clutch in. it didn't even do it after for a while. then my master cylinder went out. That was replaced, and now it grinds. Not only at high rpms either, it grinds all of the time, unless i let the rpms go almost all of the way down and pause before i stick it in third. I don't get it. I thought it might be the sloppy shifter (I was runing a bolt in my linkage) so i put in a new bitch-pin and some ES shifter bushings, and GM Synchromesh (not the friction modified kind). But the thing still grinds. I don't even drive the car that hard....well sometimes, but not that often. Could it be a bent shift fork or something like that? please help

Did you just "add some" GM synchromesh or did you completely drain out the old stuff and fill it full of GM?

dantastic

sounds liek u might need to adjust ur clutch pedal. your clutch may not be fully disengaging

Mr.E.G.

adjust your clutch pead and make sure that it is bled

i drained the fluid all of the way....i don't know how to flush it. How should i adjust the pedal?

On an EG I don't think you can adjust it. The only thing you can do is blead it....I could be wrong. Cable trannys are a whole different story. You can adjust those quite a bit. My first guess is still that is has something to do with the fluids....

first of all try bleeding the entire clutch system. master cylinder and slave.

thehatchninja

bled it, bled it, bled it....new clutch and slave cyl

anyone?

p.s.....i'm sure you can adjust the pedal/MC... i'm just not sure how...i can probably figure it out...i'll try tomorrow.
