Worn Synchronizer

[axess]

Hey guys and girls,<BR>I think I have a worn synchro for 2nd gear, when I shift it grinds for a second. I have to wait a little between first and second.<P>I'm pretty sure that's the problem, if you think it's something else, then tell me what you think.<P>How much should I expect to spend if it is a worn synch ?<P>thanks

i got the same problem too. i sucks changing to 2nd that to avoid grinding i shift straight to 3rd. is it the sync? how much does it cost for the part/ job?

I started my research and the only price i could get is around 130$ CND just to see what is going on and then it's more money for labour and parts. The guy told me to expect about 10 hours of labour at 68$/hour + parts, so thats around 700$ just for labour. So for now I'm probably just going to wait, i can still shift to 2nd gear, I just have to do it slowly.<P>If anyone else know anything about this feel free to post, it would be apreciated.<P>thanks

I'd guess a syncro. You can get a whole junkyard tranny for under $500 USD easily. I've heard of some of the MD guys getting them for like $110 USD from some scrapyards around there, but you'd have to talk to NEPO about that.

I have the same problem of a slight grind into second gear. However, on my car, once it warms up for 5 minutes or so it shifts like butter... but i have heard its my syncro. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]
