Default D-series tranny problem

my d-series tranny pops out of second gear from time to time. What could be the problem.

yup.... syncros would be my first guess.....

I had blown my syncros in 2nd, 3rd and 5th and bent my 4th shift fork.....

driving was a total job and a half

would this cause the car to loose power as well?

I don't think that it is his synchro. If it was the synchro there would be a clash when shifting into gear.

Here are my guesses in no specific order:

1. Clutch housing misaligned.

2. Linkage, shift forks, detent plugs worn or damaged.

3. Clutch shaft or roller bearings worn or damaged.

4. Gear teeth worn, tapered, or excessive endplay caused by thrust washers.

5. Pilot bushing worn.

Out of these 5 I'm gonna say option 4 sounds like that could effect it the most.

I think that or the detents. They are really what hold the trans in gear the most.

oh the love of the d series....

i have had it to where it pops out of every gear except 5th....it would go into gear and stay in as long as i accelerated.. as soon as i let off the gas it would pop out...

i had one that only had 1st 2nd 5th and reverse....broke 3rd and 4th shift forks... the s20 92-95 trannys are weak... the 96-00 s4o trannys are much much stronger replace it with that
