I installed my short shifter a while ago and 2nd gear has been grinding occasionally. anyone have any idea what is up? or how to get it fixed? thanks.

 

Do you ever grind gears? Could have just been a coincidence and a syncro is going out.

 

i'm almost 100% sure that it never happened before i installed it or atleast i never noticed it.

 

I believe your syncro is going out because my car does the same for 3rd gear. You will need a new tranny to get rid of it. dont even waist your time and money getting it fixed.

 

before going out and spending a lot of money on a new tranny, please check the fluid level in your tranny; if it's too low, it'll grind and occasionally pop out of gear. That's what mine did, and the 2 tranny places I took it to never even bothered checking the fluid level to let me know it was too low. Changed my tranny fluid, used GM Synchromesh Friction Modified, and now I have absolutely no grinds, and it doesn't pop out of gear at all.

 

good idea

i'll check fluid to make sure.

 

along with the tranny fluid check your clutch fluid resevoir. if its running low fill it up with some dot 3 or dot 4 fluid you can get at an auto store. recently happend to me 2.
