2nd gear grinds?

ARdoller · 07-06-2008, 01:05 AM

does anyone else have a problem with 2nd gear griding at higher RPMs? it shifts in fine at lower RPM's, but ive ran the tach up to almost redline a couple times so far in first, and everytime i do, 2nd gear grinds every time i go in. i know its not a driver mod, ive been driving a manual transmission for years, and only once in a blue moon, ever grinded a gear. so its not like i dont know how to drive. this is just very consistant for it to just be a coincidence.

Blocker rings are probably crap. Happened to my third gear. Swapped in my TKO and havent looked back. If you have any questions about the swap just hit me up.

Mine does that if I powershifts or shift super fast. I just slow it down a lil bit and it's fine. I don't care much about 1or 2 tenths because I don't go to the track.
I have a T45 one owner car with 54kmi on it. The car was never abused. They just aren't made for that kind of abuse is the reality.

a buddy of mine had the same problem and he always power shifted. but then again who doesnt. anyways, only second gear. he went to a tranny shop and they said he was low on fluid. that fixed the problem for about two weeks. ford replaced the synchros. everything good now.

Mine did it from day one at high rpms. I complained to Ford, but they test drove it and shifted like my grandmother, then said there wasn't a problem because that's how we are supposed to drive our high performance cars for which we paid a premium price.

mine did it in every gear until i adjusted the F*****g clutch FTW. i've recuperated [sp] my driver mod though its still isnt as good.
