ITS THE DAMN SYNCHROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please Read
 

i really need a new tranny http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/mad.gif !!!!!!
im p!$$ed, the synchros for reverse are toast. does anyone know if it is cheaper to rebuild the tranny(could i do it myself?), or just get an old one from a autowrecker?

i cnt get it in reverse, but all of the forward gears work, so i guess ill have to drive it like it is, & shut it off, then put it in reverse until i pay back everyone, & then have eanough for a new tranny (or rebuild)

thanks


p.s. does anyone have an old t-5 laying around that you would be willing to donate to me, or sell for cheap?

I feel your pain, but I think mine is worse...my 2nd gear is toast http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif. I would also like to know how cheap a rebuild could be or if I should get a new tranny.

yours is worse, but at least i can stilll drive it like this. anyone know how much longer the other synchros will last since reverse is toast?

anyone know what causes the synchros to go???

thanks

Try putting it in fifth first, then pull straight back into reverse.

Reverse doesn't have a syncro in the T-5 http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/confused.gif


Reverse is famous for being a PIA at time sin the T-5 try sticking it in another gear as suggested then try Reverse. Or try letting the clutch out a little while trying to put it in reverse.

To do a proper rebuild, with all new internals it will cost around $550 in parts, I just did this new imput shaft, cluster, 2nd and 3rd, and the complete rebuild kit with bearings and syncros. Contact Don Walsh Jr at D&D or Bob Hanlon both rebuild T-5's and sell new ones and parts. I have delt with both for parts and they are a great bunch of guys...

I telling you guys, it's an epidemic spread? my t-5 is making some noises, i replaced the clutch and throwout bearing, and still, i get a chattering noise in every gear except 4th, read "my broken t-5" thread, i have really been stressed out, im afraid to drive it, but have to get to work somehow, it's embarrasing letting the clutch out at a light and i can hear it pretty loud http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/frown.gif Im having a guy do the work for 425$ but i need to really find another option?? any ideas? oh and my reverse synchro does the famous grind too.

hope we can all shift again with no problems.....good luck
