4th gear gone

As I am cruzing down on the freeway at about 60mph accelerating to 80 to pass traffic i hear that grrrrrr and since then I have no 4th gear.
All other gears work the same way. Does any one had simmilar issue? What does it take to fix it???

ideas, thanks

Chances are you broke the gear. Usually if its a syncro it will grind, but eventually pop in. It could possibly be the shift linkage, but that remote at best, as it would probably effect other gears as well.

Your best bet IMO would be to send the tranny off to someone like Sheppard racing and have it rebuilt. You can find used trannys, but they will usually cost around the same as a rebuild and you will not know what your getting.

As a side note. If you did have a gear grenade on you thats means theres shrapnel (gear parts) floating around in your tranny. Eventually they will wedge themselves where there not supposed to be and cause much more damage, in turn upping your rebuild cost considerably. So if your planning on going that route, I wouldnt drive the car.

If the 4th gear is gone he should be hearing a lot of noise from his transmission. Lots of clunking and clanking from all the 4th gear pieces floating around. If there is no noise, your shift linkage may be damaged there by not doing anything when you try to shift into 4th. If your synchros are toast it will grind everytime you try to shift into that particular gear.

Goodluck.

shep will charge more, due to every gear needs to be rebuild. I think $800+ is for working tranny rebuild. On average its 200$ per gear.
