First Gear pops out?

FunWheelDrive · 03-16-2008, 07:51 AM

first gear syncro is fucked. Took it to a tranny shop, they said it was done. WOW 2000rpm downshift from second to first fucked my syncro woooo. Anyways, i got a new tranny for 300 bucks opened it up, it looks good, it's going in next week.

a single shift shouldnt damage it that much, most synchros wear gradually, so repeated downshifts to first at high speeds would cause that but a single shift shouldnt

Seriously, to be honest i was driving the hell out of it, i just got my exhaust on i put 60 kilometers on drifting, powersliding hard 1-2 shifts breaking the rear tires loose. This was a lady driven car, it has reciets all from toyota all the way up from 62,000kms to what it has now, like timing belt, water pump, oil changes. I looked through them all... and not once does it say the transmission oil was done, and i think i can hear teeth banging around in the tranny aswell.. Once i get it apart i'll post back with pictures.

First gear synchro will probably last the longest. Definitely check the slave cylinder and/or bleed it. You should never have any problems going into first.

Unless You Do Not Have Any Fluid In The Transmission!!!

You know, i don't actually know if theyre is fluid, but there was no signs of leaking. car still won't go into first but now second gear is making noise under accel and third gear is making ALOT of noise under accel. Sounds like something is banging around, the new tranny goes in tommorow.
