Yesterday i was driving normal shifting and i grinded 5th 3 times in about 10 minutes. At first I thought I wasn't pushing teh clutch down all the way. However, i realized I was.. I also noticed a few days ago, 5th was really hard to get into. I had to force it in, and when i twouldnt go, i rev matched and it finally went in.. Today, i was driving normally and i grinded 2 times -.-. I shifted at 3k rpm, fast enough so i didnt bog when i went into 5th.. Is this how grinding starts??

 

I have grinding in 5th and 6th gear... But I noticed that if you shift fast, it'll grind. Give this a try since it worked well for me so far: When shifting to 5th, dont push it in yet, give it a couple of seconds then push it in. It is slow, but it works and doesn't grind.

 

I changed to Royal Purple tranny fluid and it grinds to 3rd and 5th if I don't give the tranny fluid time to heat up. I've never had any issues before this. When we change out my clutch/flywheel I'll be switching away from Royal Purple.

 

I have stock fluids, only 15k miles on the odometer

 

bad syncro plates. warranty (just my guess)

 

I hear that kind of stuff goes on in the west coast. Lots of trannys out there

 

That sounded so wrong in so many ways.

 

I think he ment it like that haha.

 

Its true though last time i went there i saw a guy in a bikini .

 

>< god damnit u guys are useless! lol.

In the last 2 days it hasn't grinded once. Im starting to think it has more to do w/ the guideplate than the tranny itself. I might take it apart when i order my shift ****

 

I had this same problem in Singapore in 86.

Sorry, I just had to...

 

what if your warranty is up? what would something like this cost or is this something Nissan will cover?
