Are my Synchronizers out?

sfinn1 · 07-11-2001, 04:29 PM

I have been experiencing problems with 2nd gear in my stock 95 GT. When I go to shift into 2nd gear, the shifter feels like it engages the gear. However, as soon as I release the clutch, the transmission pops out of gear (the actual shifter pops out). If I hold the shifter really tightly into second gear while releasing the clutch, it makes a popping sound and will go into 2nd most of the time. Does anybody know what the nature of my problem is?

Seeing all these post really depresses me

yes your synchro is going, but if you have an aftermarket shifter, check the stops, other than that get ready for a rebuild, it'll probaly last a while till things get worse, just never know?

I have the same problem basically, but my 2nd gear is completely gone now. It just chatters away. I will be getting it fixed under extended warranty, but I would like to know some things...I've heard the "cluster" and a few other things like the gear itself could be bad also. Could anyone tell me what other things could need replacement along with a synchro? Thanks.
