Question 5th gr. grind/rebuilt tranny (FD)

93 FD

I have minor gring from the tranny when I shift up to the 5th gr. Probably my syncro is out.

how much did it cost you to fix that problem?

700 was less than i spent. you should plan on putting a clutch (i did an act s/s) in while the tranny is out. if your like me, you then look at a lighter flywheel, synthetic fluid, etc and the price keeps rising.

that grinding means its time for new synchros. It can be cheap if you do it yourself and don't mind pulling the tranny for just that problem. However, very few people just replace a synchro. Most people will rebuild the entire tranny.

the tranny rebuild on my FC was $1000+$650 for clutch and resurfaced flywheel.

ummm so I'm talking about $$$ huh...ugh!
I guess I can replace my clutch as well. I was planning
on going for ACT 6 puck. Is that too rough? Should I be going for the ACT Extreme clutch?

unless you're putting down over 400 hp, a street strip will be fine. i've heard puck clutches can be pretty rough on the street.

Don't recall the exact amount but I'm thinking less than $100. Ordered everything from Malloy including the shift select spindle thingy and both transmission seals. Add $25-$30 for good quality fluids. And, while your in there replacing your clutch etc, don't forget to order a new release fork, approx. $65.
