everyonce in a while (becinung more frequently now) when i shift from 1st to 2nd, theres a low grinding sound......not like a mis shift/bad clutch work, this is very low sounding, and his happening even when the clutch is all the way in.....i was thinking mayb the syncro on the 2nd gear collar is going bad and making improper contact???...i realy dont know all that much about trannies...anybody got a clue???

 

syncros prolly going, i had the exact same thing and i got new syncros put in and nows its fine

 

If its within warranty (your sig might not be your ride) have a technician at the delaer drive it and tell you....If so the warranty will replace hat they need to so you can shift smoothly.

i heard thats pretty expensive?? how much for new synchros? my third gear synchro is all fucked up so im gonna need to do that soon... if its too much im prob just gonna go h22

 

well......after a more careful analyzation, its might be from teh cold....only seems to be happening when the shifter feels stiff (from the cold in teh morning).....im not gonna worry about it for now, but thanks for the heads up.....if it is the syncro, i bet its from all my 4-&gt;2 heel-toes at 40mph.....oh well thanks yall

 

try changing the tranny fluid. if the fluid has some mileage or time on it, new fluid can improve shift quality

who did you work and how much did it cost??

 

what tranny fluid are your using?? i would first try honda mtl, if that doesn't work try redline mtl, and then try gm synchromesh.

 

if u want to check first drain the tranny fluid and if u see gold metal particles its your syncros Im pretty sure its the syncros

 

thanks agian yall.....im just pretty sure its the cold, but who knows.......ill check the tranny fluid when i change my oil......hmm......i could use an oil change soon too.......

 

I was experiencing the same thing while the temperature has been low...just shift slow and easy until the car has warmed up a bit...that is what I have been doing...and my OIL change IS tomorrow...so tranny fluid and check-up is coming also
