Hey Guys,

I was playing around a bit tonight and i dont usually beat on my car but tonight i thought i would have some fun,

What i noticed is at WOT shifting from 3rd to 4th it would feel like it was crunching into gear a bit,

It doesnt do this if i shift from 3rd 6500rpm or under only about that,

Anyone else have this drama? any resolutions?

cheers

 

never had that problem sorry, when was the last time you changed your fluid though?? i could be a simple as that

 

I had the clutch replaced so all fluids got changed then also about 30k kms about 17k miles

 

any others care to comment?

 

What fluids? What type of clutch?

Does it consistently do that?

 

Yeh if im into 3rd then go for 4th it goes in but i can feel it crunch,

I got a shop to replace the clutch and fluids where done there, only 4th gear does that,

The clutch is an Xtreme HD Button Clutch fluids where castrol of the top of my head

 

4th gear Syncro's are on their way out would be my guess. You could try BG syncro shift for gear oil. It may remedy the grinding.

 

Hmm i was thinking that but the car has only 53k miles on it and was never pushed tracked or modded until about 10k ago, as soon as the revs are over say 7000rpm it crunches into gear and only into 4th below that there is no issues

 

Could be synchro or maybe clutch linkage could be adjusted a hair bit more

 

If you ease it into 4th above 7000, does it still do it?

 

Yeh it still does it if i try a fast or slow shift above that RPM

 

did u try shifting as separate motions? 1. Off gas 2. Clutch to floor 3. Change gear 4. Roll out?
Might not be getting the clutch all the way down before getting into 4th. If all thats good how is ur linkage. Might be 4th gear synchro as already stated

 

mine would crunch if i did it too fast...

so now when i race and shift above 7300+ i take it easier, and it hasnt grinded since...

 

Ill try it again once my car is retuned for the bigger turbo, ill post back the outcome

 

Could be the synchros, or maybe the shifter linkage cables are a bit bent?
