typeSH Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Question-I have a concern where I get something I would describe as a "crunch" when going into 2nd gear. It only happens when the vehicle is cold (actually cold outside and engine/trans are not warmed up). It goes away after the vehicle gets to operating temperature. 2nd gear syncro? Also, if thoughts are the syncro-why only when it's cold? Checked fluid level and condition-good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 could be a syncro getting bad. you should change your trans fluid. does it do it no matter what? or can ya baby it in? does it do it when downshifting as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
typeSH Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 could be a syncro getting bad. you should change your trans fluid. does it do it no matter what? or can ya baby it in? does it do it when downshifting as well? Thanks for the reply! It seems to only do in on upshift and, yes-if I lightly press it into gear and not force it at all, it will go into gear without "crunching" or "grinding." There's a little resistance, but it slides in with light pressure after about 3 seconds-only until it warms up and then shifts fine. Think starting with changing the fluid to see if there is any change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctprelude Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 After it's warmed up does it grind when shifting at high RPMs? It's probably the synchros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 topping up and bleeding some new fluid through the system will prolly help. sounds like a clutch issue dude , not a tranny issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
