I'm having a prob with my 3rd gear engagement, and it grinds when I shift at above 3k rpm or sometimes if i do it really quick. Could this be a sign of bad synchro? It's fine when i shift slowly and below 3k but that kinda suck.. I can't wind up engine and shift above 3k.. To add to this dilema, I have a DC sports shortshifter. Do you guys think it might have to do with my DC too? Help.

 

try and change the MTF. it helps sometimes.

 

sounds like the sync's are going. try Honda MTF or GM syncromesh. good-luck

I had the same problem...tried this stuff.....and no more grind!!!!

 

GM Syncromesh= , stopped my 1st to 2nd grind when I bury the needle. Shifts way smoother too. Part #12345349, trust me it works.

 

I have 2q of the GM stuff waiting to go in. But I need to replace the seals be for i do that, and Im broke.

But It should get rid of my grind into 3rd. It has for everyone that I know that has used it.

 

Where can I get this GM syncromesh tranny fluid? I used Honda MTF all the time.

Sounds like GM had a pretty good review from few h-techers..
