Anyone else with IX experiencing your third gear feeling sticky when pulling it out into neutral? Sometimes it feels like it's stuck and you gotta use extra force to "unlock" it...

 

Yup.. then mine went bye-bye... haha try to change your fluid and see if it helps... if not you synchros are fuqqd

 

mine makes a weird sound when it goes in..feels like its grinding

 

Could it be your under the hood bushings? I would def chance the Fluids. tranny/tcase/diff

 

the bushing could be the problem....or your fluids..

 

no... if it grinds change your fluid... if fluid changing doesnt help it is the synchros... the stock trannys are garbage man

 

My 6 speed IX tranny is very smooth.. kind of like butter.

It's very easy to go in and out of gear.

But then again, I also changed the tranny oil after the first 1200 miles. Lots of metal shavings floating around. Then I got mocked by people here, saying "why would you change your drivetrain fluid after only 1200 miles. You should wait till you have 30k... blah blah blah."

Duh.

 

Another trans thread...Change your fluid, I prefer Redline MT90. 3qts. and a pump

 

I get the same thing some times, but just when I'm being lazy about getting into the clutch good.
