Well just as it say my car keeps poping out of 5th gear. To my understanding its not really a common problem. Does anyone know what usually causes this?, and what king of repair imma need. I know my clutch or pressure plate is bad, and i already have a new clutch awaiting a flywheel before install.

 

does it grind out of gear or does it just pop out? if it grinds out of gear it's proabably your syncro's

 

if it is grinding into gear and randomly poping out try chagin the tranny fluid with some GM Synchromesh.

 

grinds going into gear, smoothly pops out

 

did you grind it bad going into that gear or did it just start to happen?

 

make sure those axles are correct for your aplication.. esspecially in hybrid swaps.

you'll be surprised if a axle is too short, or the retainer ring is worn or loose, it will pop out of gears, for me.. it did it in 3rd, and 5th.. only those 2 gears.

 

Bent shift fork will cause this too

Bent shifter fork or gear actually grinded down.

 

your probably low on tranny fluid or your syncros are going out...

 

when i bought my first LS tranny,..5th gear would go in smooth,..then just pop out,..didnt grind whatsoever,..didnt grind popping out,..it turned out to be the 5th gear syncro

 

5th gear syncro or possibly a bad clutch..my friend had this problem..bad clutch and bad 5th syncro

 

Syncros

 

Bent fork or synchro.

 

well i can tell you now that my right side axle is not right cause its leaking fluid, im suppose to be replacing it once i install my new clutch.

this means, the axle isn't in all the way, and the oil seal isn't against the inner axle hub..

and that means your axle isn't in all the way.. this WILL cause gears to pop out, usually 5th.

remove the axle, and check the oil seal in the tranny, AND more importantly the retainer ring on the inner axle.

 

If it pops out while in gear, it's definitely the fluid.
