Grinding Gears

[Dodgy1_SA]

Hey guy's, just wonderin if anyone could help me. My 33 is starting to have a few grindies, mainly if I'm shifting quick into 4th, if I take it really steady *slowly* it tends to go no prob's.. now if I go to over take truck's and shoot from 5th back to 3rd it's sweet, but if I jump straight back to 5th, she don't wanna go without force and a little grind (I was doin that due to the 4th prob). I's this the syncro's f*kucked or what??? or could it be something as simple as changing the gearbox fluid???just wonderin if anyone could help me there. I think I will need a new clutch soon, so is that a good time to get it fixed if it is??? sorry if I sound a bit dumb...

I'd say atleast your 4th synchro is f**ked. Take it to a gearbox guy. May aswell look at getting the new clutch why the box is dropped out.

Firstly change the oil and see if there is any marked improvement.

It may or may not be syncro's People miss under stand there are several parts that allow smooth gear changes other than the syncro. Besides that the syncro is essentially 3-5 peices alone.

There could be problems with worn baulk rings, worn selector forks, worn hub rings, damaged/worn dog teeth.

If its as bad as you say it is then get the oil changed and see what happens but ultimatly you are going to need to strip it down and assess properly what has worn out inside.

Dont skimp and fix the box properly then enjoy what is a really good transmission again
