sucks man but this is exactly why I dont even consider bringing it to the dealer. I know they will **** me off someway somehow and I won't get my car back for a while which is something I can't afford. I hate to be negative but I know my tranny is bound to develop more problems in the future so I will drive it until it can't be driven anymore then time for rebuild.

 

Be a good idea the check the gear selection cables where the run through the guide bracket on top of the gearbox.

I first noticed a little trouble with forward gear changes on my 5speed. Turned out the gear selector cable responsible for selecting 1,3,5 (on the 5speed) had split from the supporting bracket that helps guide it. On the 5 speed it's the bottom of the two cables as you look down through the engine bay.

Well this is what happen the first time I took it
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=355514
they fired they guy that did the work and gave me a new transfer case, so now I only have the Master Tech work on my car and I haven't had another problem yet. Plus I'm not going to pay the **** ton of money that it would cost when the car is still under warranty.

 

Will the dealer give me **** for putting mods on the car? Ive had the tranny worked on before and the dealer didnt say ****. That was back in Chicago though and they kept my car for a whole 2 weeks to fix 6th gear because I took it during the holidays, stupid mistake! How long will it take to fix this problem, does anyone know? How much am I looking to spend if I take it and pay for it. My car is still under warranty, I want to get this fixed before it gets worse.

 

It all depends on the dealership. Some will and some won't

 

i drive an 8 and have this same problem and the car is becoming unbearable to drive with this 3rd gear problem i do have the act clutch but im pretty sure thats not the problem...someone very knowledgeable told me somehting about a TSB???(he didnt explain cause i was leaving when he suggested it) and its under warranty?

 

Does anyone know of a good place to get my car checked out in central Texas, I would like to get it fixed ASAP. AMS has done all the work on my car but they arent in TX

 

Does anyone know how hard it is to fix the syncro?

 

?? weak trans does not mean weak synchro's.

 

so does anyone know how I can get this fixed, or how much it should cost me?

 

Going from 2nd into 3rd grinds really bad in my car. Its probably on its way out..

 

What are you going to do about it?

 

samething happened with me on my 8. Try adjusting your clutch and put some new tranny fluid in.

2 simple things to try before you know your getting screwed when you see the bill for the tranny rebuild.

 

Yeah synchros...start saving up for a 5 speed swap. The 6 speed tranny is very, very fragile. It can be fixed and strengthened but its not cheap. The synchro is pretty hard to get to, you will have to remove the axles and transfer case, and then remove the entire transmission from the car. The transmission needs to be fully disassembled to fix the sychronizer. Its much easier just to buy a used/new 5 speed transmission and swap that in instead. The 5 speed will give you way less problems. If you insist you want to keep the 6 speed transmission, please contact shep at sheptrans.com
