![]() I have a problem going into second gear. When you change it to fast it grinds. I'll have my foot all the way on the clutch and make sure i do and do it slow and it works. When i try that with 2nd gear but change it fast it grinds. what could it be? I have a hurst short throw shifter. Could the shifter be bad to make it shift in the wrong way?

![]() Sounds like your clutch needs adjusted. If that's not it, then I'd start thinking synchronizers on the 2nd gear cluster.

![]() Thats what someone told me. I know it's not the clutch. How much would that cost around to get fixed?(synchronizers). Parts and labor?

![]() Several years ago, like '98, I got my cars original t-5 rebuilt, with all the work done in the shop (i.e. drop/reinstall) and a new SVO clutch for like 800.
Whether you get it rebuilt or buy a new one (not that much more), Make sure you get the alum. quadrant and adjuster. Trust me, the POS plastic stuff is crap. Just my .02 J Out of curiosity: Are you also getting the "Automatic- Impersonation". Where the car tries to creep forward when in gear at a stop?

![]() No. It's fine when it's stopped. also when it is warm, it dosn't really grind. But when it does,it's only in 2nd gear. and can my problem get worst if i dont fix it right away?

![]() It's only gonna get worse from here. I'm actually surprised it's 2nd gear, usually 3rd goes first.
If you're interested, I still have a TKO II and all the goodies for sale. Bellhousing, tranny, Steeda Tri-Ax shifter, BBK cable, Steeda quadrant, and firewall adjuster. $1100 can have it all.
