okay, when i shift into second, sometimes 3rd i get a little grind, only at certain rpms? yes the clutch is pushed in all the way, ive been reading, do u think it is motor mounts, or syncros? or?
ANY help is appreciated

 

probally syncro mine does it in 3rd at high rpm

you can try to adust clutch it mite help

 

It appears you have an MR. Is the shifter stiff at all? Like stirring peanut butter? Does this occur when the car is cold and warm? I just had a similar issue and had a bad syncro and shift rail issues. I just had my 6sp rebuilt.

 

sorry i didnt change my car.....i have an 06 special edition 5 speed.....when sitting there it seems to shift into gears fine.....just at certain rpms and i dont think it makes a difference if cold or warm.....i just dont want to keep driving it with it grinding like that. the grind noise isnt super bad, but u can hear and feel it

 

There is a good chance it being the Synchro's. Shep can sure your blue's.

 

Twice you've said "certain RPMs". Well, what RPMs?

PS It's probably the synchros.

 

i am sorry....usually it does around 3-5....shep can sure my blues?....also do u think a trany fluid change would make a difference? probably not, just asking....

 

Well, I'm sure servicing your Transmission will help the smoothness a bit. Sheptrans.com is who I was speaking of. John is a top notch guy.

 

Thank you very much.....i just dont want to ruin my tranny....i shot john an email....

 

Good luck friend.

 

if it is in fact the synchros....are we talking expensive?

 

Depends on how severe the damage is, and what gears need replaced. Going to be a pretty penny, but not astronomical I would think. You can still drive it, so this preventative maintenance is a good thing, good to get it done now before she goes on you...

 

i appreciate all your guys help....i also thought i should take care of it early.....i am sort of new here....so i thank you guys for still being nice to me

 

You shouldn't really have a problem driving it. Just don't beat on it. I drove for 2.5yrs with a 5th gear grind. When I sent my tranny to Shep he said it was pretty much F'd up pretty good and I needed all new gears and synchros. So don't panic. Change the fluid if you want, but you may want to just send it to him and, in all likelihood, never worry about it again. Tranny work isn't cheap, though.
