Okay, let's see where to being.
I have a 901 box. Side shifter. Gears: 1st: almost always works, pops out occasionally. I don't use it enough though. 2nd: been being a real bitch as of today. More often than not, it will not go in. Not going in defined as in like hitting a brick wall. Just refuses, although sometimes on multiple, read more than 5 attempts in a row, will it drop in. Pops out very very very rarely. 3rd: Been a bitch for about 2.5 months. Pops out a lot. More often than not, it will not go in. Refer to definition under 2nd gear. When 2nd works today, 3rd works most of the time, but not guranteed, and seems to be getting more towards not working when 2nd is working, most of the time. 4th: My baby. Always works no matter what. Although when I down shift with clutch fully pushed down, it grinds bad going near and into third. 3rd probably needs synchro, huh? 5th: Don't use much either, even on the highway. It's a flipped 3rd, H. Was a real good gear, just about a month ago it decided it didn't want to go in the first one or two tries. It would grind, and pop out, or not even go in, just grind. I am beginning to think it has something to do with the /6 mount I have. It is the Patrick bar, and I know people have had problems with those. It almost seems like the motor is like resting on the shift rod. I think that maybe the rod it getting jammed up somewhere outside of the tranny. But, I also don't believe that. Lol. Like, maybe there is tension on the rod, and it is pulling the tranny out of gear. The bushings between the firewall and the tranny were replaced about 5 months ago, I did them personally, before I bought the car. Does anyone have any ideas? I don't know anything about the gear boxes, besides what the gear looks like. So, I could pull it apart, but I really don't want to if I don't have to. It needs to be fixed internally now, because of the problem, just wondering if anyone has any ideas what it could be, and what not. Thanks guys. - Brett Smith |
