Horrible Grinding/Vibration from Shifter at high RPM's
Ok, so I have a *new* problem. Yes, I did search I did not find any thing pertaining to my problem, so I had to make this thread.
I haven't beat on the car in a while, so this didn't come up until tonight. I was on the highway, it was 2am, nothing in sight, what would you do? lol
I slowed down, down shifted through the grears, got to about 45mph in 2nd, and I did a pull. By the time I got to 7000 rpm, there was a horrible grinding noise coming from the shifter itself. I put it in 3rd, got to the 7000 rpm range again, same ****. So I pull over, shut the car off, and go through the gears. They feel fine, so I get back on the highway. As I was going through the gears (shifting about 3-5000 rpm), shifting in and out of the gears was fine, and the shifter was not gringing. The tranny has never grinded a gear, unless it was a mistake of my own. The only thing I've done in a while to the shifter/tranny is put the Energy Suspension bushings in, after that shifter feel was soooo better. The tranny fluid (Honda MTF) was refilled about 4000 miles ago.
So my problem is:
The gear lever/shifter is grinding. It's not the tranny, just the shifter. While the grinding happens, the tranny still shifts in and out of gear smoothly. It happens in gear while driving, in nuetral while coasting, clutch pressed down, or not, still doing it. It also does it at a stop while in nuetral. Bascially, the shifter itself grinds no matter what the car's doing at around 7000 rpm all the way to redline. the grinding will go away if I push the shifter to the right a little bit while it's grinding.
If some one can please shed some light on this, it would be very greatly appreciated.
