If it's high rpm only, definately sounds like a syncro.

Put Honda MTF in your tranny and see if that helps. If not that i have heard good things about GM Sycrnomesh.

as THE tranny guru, check your motor mounts, but most likely you have a worn 1-2 shifter fork.

I'm up to about 50 SOHC trannys and only have ever seen one destroyed synchro.



it was the result of a broken 1-2 shifter fork.........

ok if thats it then what can i do about it? and how much will it cost?

go buy some GM Synchromesh friction modified from your local Chevy dealership!! Let me know if it works the same wonders it works on B-series trannies!!!!???

new fork is $55-60 from dealer, requires complete tranny teardown. Yours will be fine for a while as it is just worn. But when it does break you'll be shifting 1-3-4, no second gear.
