3rd gear, i think shes going slowly Options

[speedfeen]

well i am mechanically inclined BUT remember i do autobody not mechanical lol





SO heres the story


Your driving, your going faster than 50km/h and u go to shift into 3rd and it grinds bad.....you do it when your going slower it doesnt do that....and well lets just say that more than once i go to ds into 3rd and it doesnt wanna go in.......


syncro? transmission? i know its easier to guess at what it is instead of seeing it but what do you guys think it is? just because it will do it sometimes and not other times im thinkin it may be the syncro....


ideas..

A lot of people on here who have had problems with their synchros, especially grinding into third gear, have had the problem solved by changing tranny fluid using Pennzoil syncromesh (spelling?). I had the same problem you did, and it went away when I replaced the gear oil with syncromesh. The stuff really works, which came as a surprise to me, because I've always been told that Pennzoil is crap.
