So here is the story: I installed at t3/t4 57 trim turbo with rev hard manifold and tial wastegate set at 7psi tuned with crome about 8000 miles ago. I then installed an ACT xtss because the stock clutch couldnt handle the torque.

Ever since installing my clutch my third gear has started to grind (never had a problem with it grinding third with old stock clutch even though it slipped). I replaced the fluid in it twice, once with honda MTF and then again with GM syncromesh with the friction modifier. Both didnt help. So i changed the slave because it was leaking a bit, still it didnt help.

So i said expletive it and just kept on driving it with third gear grind. Then last night i did a couple of pulls on the highway and didnt have any problems. Pulled into a parking lot at target, came out and started my car, and my car WOULDNT go into reverse at all. I tried many times and it just would go. I turned the car off and try putting it into reverse and it still WOULDNT go. No matter what i do it just wont go in.

Now does any body know what the hell the deal is?!?! Does it sound like i need a new tranny?

By the way there is about 145,000 miles on this original tranny, and I had the motor rebuilt after i bought it at 123,000 miles after i bought it. And im pretty sure the guy who had it before me ran it hard because i bought the car with 116,000 miles and did the rebuild at 123,000 miles. again...

 

syncros seem to be your problem, 3rd gear grind is quite common on b series trannies from what i hear

 

what about reverse?

 

So if the syncros totally went out in reverse, would u not be able to put it in reverse even if the car is off?

 

anyone at all? come on someones gotta know

 

mosr than likely, im not 100% thoguh, i think there is a bearing that go go bad, PM BENSE, he can EXPLAIN everything aobut trannies to you

this is true. my third gear used to grind really bad, then i just fucked my trans completely. every gear was grinding. and it was soo hard to put it into gear.

but it sounds like your problem is your synchro / throw out bearing. when i fucked up my trans, i was able to put the car in every gear when the car was off.

hope you find the problem

 

i had a third gear grind, changing fluid didnt help, but i got a tip from someone. with the car on and without pressing the clutch, push the shifter toward 3rd gear... not so hard as to force a grind but to the point where you know if you push harder it will grind. hold it there and rev it to 4500 and hold it for like 5-10 seconds. i heard that some chemical builds up on the 3rd gear syncro and causes a grind. in my case this reving burned the build up away and i can shift into 3rd at redline now smooth as butter

THis is a joke right? Synchro wear is caused from the the synchro being "dog-toothed", bot any sort of buildup. Please don't post nonsense like this, this could seriously ruin a tranny.

 

You sure you installed your shift linkage right?

Check the small things first man

No it's not... it helped with mine. im not saying jam it into gear, just push it till it stops. It worked with mine and it helped someone else on TI.net also... It isn't nonsense

Im going to take it to a guy i know at a tranny shop to have it checked out. Either way the transmission has 145,000 mostly hard driven miles on it, so getting a newer one wouldnt be a bad idea.

this is exactly what I don't like. people that don't know what they're talking about that are too lazy to search just PM me and expect me to fix their problems.

and this is exactly why your gears are grinding. I bet you "power shifted" it a lot, barking gears and other bullshit.

 

I had the same probelem and i was running an act clutch. One day it just didnt go into reverse. Turns out the 5th/reverse fork bent somehow.

NEVER power shifted and the guy who had the car before (if u read the original post) drove it hard hence why i had the engine rebuilt. Then adding a turbo im sure didnt help either. DONT BE A DUESCH.

Umm that is a complete joke. Like I said before, grinding is caused by dog-toothed synchros, not "chemical buildup." OP and anyone else: Please do not listen to this guy for your own good.

 

Exact same thing happened to me. When my third gear syncro went out the reverse was lost. I powershifted into third, parked, then tried to get out.I coudnt really.

 

I'm going to pretend I never saw this thread.
