your second to third synchro could be bad

Bad synchro will cause you to grind gears if you shift to fast, I'm leaning more towards a bad tranny or engine mount.



Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.

i figured out what it is...its a bad synchro. when i double clutch from 2nd to 3rd it shifts fine.

so how do i go about changing the synchro?

There are tons of threads on this in the "Transmission" forum. Probably cheaper/easier to change the trans.
