Grinding into 3rd gear - anything besides the trans?? Posted by Jonathan Scupin [Email] (#428) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Jonathan Scupin) on Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:06:28 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
After my 2nd gear synchro died, I had my gearbox out for a rebuild by a pro. So, the freshly rebuilt transmission (new syncros, etc) grinds going into third gear from second. Pulled the box, and rebuilder replaces 3rd gear after finding it a little "sticky". reinstalled again, same symptoms, grinds only when shifting from 2nd to 3rd consistently. Doesn't grind at all in any other gear, even from 4th to 3rd. Clutch operation seems fine. New clutch & Saab OEM slave. Easily goes into all gears very very smoothly, even 4th to 3rd.
Does anyone have any idea about what else I can check before I pull the gearbox a third time? Current thinking is that I need to replace 2nd gear cluster which contains some of the 3rd gear synchro (from my limited understanding/interpretation, anyway!)
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
