That sucks. Does it grind even if you granny shift? Maybe a bad syncro...

when's the last time you changed your tranny fluid?

[Danman281]

To me it sounds like bad synchros. Try changing your tranny fluid. You could try Synchro Mesh, RP, Honda, etc... (I'm not going to try to debate which one is best). Hopefully this would help and it won't be a costly fix in the long run. Besides, its always good to change your MTF! :mbiggrin:(Check out my DIY on how to do it)

Also, your engine moves a lot during high RPMs, my theory is that the tranny shifts from its orginal spot causing the linkages to shift? (get it?) I could be wrong but this is what I imagine because when I put in my engine damper, I stopped grinding on hard shifts in high rpms and every shift is smooth now
