Hey whats up. Have a type r tranny with lsd. Sometimes shifting from 1st to 2nd it feels kind of notchy but does not grind at all.

Do you think a tranny fluid oil change will help this out?( with GM syncromesh oil)

and what exactly is that notchy feeling you get when shifting gears?

Thanks~

 

Miles?

Honda mtf mixed with gm syncro mesh 50/50. Should solve your problem worked for me

Check your Linkage and Bushing.
If that's all fine a dandy your fluid could be old.
Or your Sychros or letting you know there going to take a **** on you.

 

So is there any set way i can determine it is exactly my synchros??

any tests i can do? and what happens if they do go bad.. i would not be able to change gears or something??

Thanks help would be appreciated

 

When the synchros/sleeves go bad its near impossible to shift without grindage. But the other dude is right. The notchiness comes, in my experience, from sloppy linkage/old shift bushings/old fluid (any combo of these will do it)

 

Yeah.
Check your linkage and bushings.
Determine if your fluid us good.
If those check out it has to be internal, sychros.

You can still change gears. It'll just grind. Until eventually it'll kick the shifter back. And then you'll need to rev match just to get it to shift.
