Cav LS Sport with Ecotec, my buddy was driving my car missed 3rd and it got slammed into 5th now it grinds wen shifting 5th its not to bad but its still grinding, i was told the sunchro was shot, but could it possible be something else im hoping i really don't want to rip the tranny out and start replacing things because it can get pricey any suggestions or other problems it may be thanks..

I have the same exact problem please help with this problem

some one please help with this its very annoying...

my old daily driver was doing this too. I am doing a five speed swap and am wondering how to fix this . Can you buy a syncro separate? How hard is it to replace? What can be done to prevent this from happening again?

getcrap syncros can be very pricey. I dont even bother fixing mine when they fail as there is always a lot wrong with them. Just find a used one and throw it in, then wait for it to fail again.

well i have done that with three automatics allready and don't want that to happen again hence going with the getrag. Thats the first bad I have heard about them. I thought they handle power really nicely.

I have had second, third, fifth, and diffs. go out on mine. I think they are junk. I prefer the Isuzu trans.
