I have an 05 and i was driving home tonight and i noticed a grind after 5k rpms when going to 5ht gear. This is a new car, wtf? It only does it past that rpm, i rarely go to high on rev on 5th. What can i do? Will switching to penzoil syncromesh maybe help with this? Anyone have same problem. I though this issue was fixed for 05's

 

No, there's a TSB for yours, too. Go get it fixed for free before you mess with the fluids.

 

Yep, get her fixed. IDK man I bet it is a Gamble with these cars

I have 55,000 Miles on my 03, it is perfect.

 

TSB? Mine just starting grinding into 5th aswell...

 

That is complete BS. Are they still using the bad parts knowing they will fail?
Does not make any sence! The 05-06's should be perfect! They had 4 years to get it right!

 

I dont see any TSB's for transmissin issues for the 05'. here is a link for all open TSB's.http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...sb/results.cfm. But deffinately go get it checked out and see what they say. i hope they cover everything for you.

 

The problem with 5th gear has already been solved for the 05 models.

If you are crunching 5th you can try a different transmission oil and try adjusting the clutch.

The problem is the ratio from 4th - 5th is very wide and it's requires an awful lot of the 5th gear synchronizer if you are trying to fire-off a .2 second shift and sometime it may crunch if you don't time your clutch foot and hand properly.

If there is a TSB or not...your still under warranty. Just go there stock.

 

I havent seen any tsb's on 05's for this, do you know where i can see the tsb?


Hey guys i was driving again tonight and once again it grinded from 4th to 5th after 5k rpms. I honestly thought this was fixed on the 05's? Why cant get things right!!

 

Did you not read any of the above? Go get it looked at by the dealer.

You still running the OEM clutch? I had some serious issues with 4th gear when I was running an ACT clutch. It often caused me to be locked out of gear when trying to shift above 5000 rpms. It also trashed my synchros. I switched back to an OEM clutch and had the synchros replaced. All is well now.

 

Ill call the dealer today about it, hopefully they wont give me any **** about it. THey never have so i dont think it should be a problem.

 

i have had 5th go on my silver twice, finally had sheppherd do it. the red one i just bought does it too so ya.. only happens when yur trying to go over 100mph going from 4th to 5th. so im scared for when my new motors reving to 9k i hope these synchros can get me in gear....

 

I got my 5th fixed already too, FREE!!!!

 

The funny **** is that theyre gona want to duplicate the problem, and theyre gona have to go to 80-90 mph to go to 5k and shift to see the problem

 

yeah i know, they are gonna go u racing it? "no i just like going 100 " lolol thats why i dont even bother with those chaddz ne more... I'd rather have quality work with quality parts and have Shepherd do the Tranny. hes local and its easy u just drop it off and pick it up...
