tranny grinds...
 

Hi, just looking for some options...

I have a 2000 b16a2, with an sir tranny, short shifter linkage stage 3 clutchmaster...

I am experincing trouble switching at over 4k without a grind in 3rd and 4th..3rd being the worst, it shifts normally in low rpms...I am guessing the syncro's are going, just lookin for some options before I rip the tranny apart on the weekend

thanks

Have u tried syncromesh? If the grind isnt to bad it might help.

my guess is syncros as well....you should toss a LS 5th gear in there while its apart, you won't regret it on those long highway drives.

zee, where would I go about getting one of those?

GM Synchromesh Friction Modified. It works.

where can I pick up some of that GM dealer?

and is there any sort of guide for changin the syncos? just for some back up help...I have only done it on a Z24 cav before...

I am guessin its not that much diffrent..I hope lol

How much mileage does it have? Sounds odd that the syncros are already gone on a 99-00 tranny. Maybe it has been abused?

3rd gear was always a little jumpy when I got it..., 4th is recent..I like to jump on it from time to time on the weekend...but I don't beat it daily, I am pretty sure it was half in the bag when I got her :-( about 65k on the motor and tranny...

throw sum lucas trannmission fix, min ground in 2 and 4th and i just put that stuff in a week ago, hasnt ground since.

yeaa I need to get this fixed asap...I don't want to do anymore damage..

I got mine from GM dealership on Woodbine/Hwy 7

ok thanks I will go look into it tonight, or maybe the Lucus tranny fix?

which you guys think is better?

Do the gm syncromesh friction modified. It should take care of the grind at least for a little bit. With only 65k on it, it seems odd that the syncros are already gone.

yeaa maybe I just need a tranny flush....

I think the recommended interval for a tranny flush is 40-50k so if you havent done one yet, its overdue for it.

ok yeaa I should do one of those first before I rip the tranny apart

thanks for the insight guys thanks alot :-)

pm me if u need ur tranny fixed!!!!!

I have a few mechanic buddies that would help me out, but thats anyways goose

ok well I flushed the tranny.....and lucas in it..ands didn't help at all...guess I am takin her apart...

why not try the syncromesh?
