I had a grind going from 2nd to 3rd. I thought I was the problem at first but the gears just never seemed to line up there. I took it to the dealer and they installed a new tranny, clutch, and clutch linkage all under warranty.

 

Since I got my car in last August ive grinded three times. In my 1989 240SX I grind 2nd gear daily

 

Ya, mines not a tranny prob, just missin' gears when I get in a hurry. Not enough clutch, etc. Only happened a few times. maybe once every 3 months.

 

no ones answered my question =[

after all this time haha

how bad is the grinding for ur tranny? :X

 

Not too bad, considering it's just the teeth banging together instead of meshing. It isnt great, but on a car thats able to hold near 500CHP on stock gears, I'd say your safe enough.

 

What are you talking about dude, read ur question here. Now ur looking for problems. WTF ARE YOU LOOKNG FOR!!

 

i grinded the gears twice takeing my bro to school. first time ive grinded in i dont know how long. first grind was a 4th to 5th. (my weakest shift.) and the second grind was very little almost not even a grind plus i forgot which gears it was. but any way i was driving faster than i could...made a record time for intraffic drive. and shorted a 15min drive down to 7mins.

edit: have done a very high five minute one once in absolut no traffic. but i dont plan on driving like that again.

 

Two and a half years of ownership with 35k miles, I've only grinded three times. Me being lazy, not the car's fault.

 

Ok, how did this one get by you guys without flaming? USE YOUR CLUTCH!

 

I grind gears occasionally, but that's usually cause sometimes I let the clutch a little too soon, and haven't gotten completely into gear yet.

 

my heart like redline after i grind the car....i don't panic but my heart does so i go easy on the clutch

 

lol....im going to get a new car tomorrow (maybe) and my friend at a dealership is teaching me to drive a manual in a new 07 civic SI

 

I did 2 times both times I was wearing a certain type of high heel that I have to adjust my seat for and I had forgotten.

 

so you have a manual Z?

 

i grinded once when i was on my cell

 

i grind about once every 3 months or so my fault sometimes ill go from 3rd to fifth and thats the last itme i grinded let out the clutch before it was fully in gear.

 

grinding a gear occasionally is not going to have much of anything to do with your tranny failing... the dog teeth are pretty durable... it's the synchros that suck(which is what can cause the grind in the first place)... it sounds a lot worse than it really is

 

4 + years, 40,000 miles; zippo grinds.
