I dont believe its an issue with your clutch. Its most likely a tranny problem. Syncros is a possibility, but id be willing to bet its an issue with the detent system on the shift rails specific to those 2 gears. $$$ wise it would be much much cheaper to buy a new tranny then rebuild, if that was the issue.

what i'm asking is do i need a rebuild and are my sychros bad? i know about rev matching and double clutching

You never let off the gas, and almost allways a perfect smooth, extremely-fast downshift, as if it were a fast shifting automatic. |
If your syncros were bad, u would experience trouble shifting period, not just downshifting. And rather then rebuild, its cheaper to find a tranny.

ok first of all this happend to me when I put a new tranny in my car. Its a quite simple fix. First try this this. when you start your car while its in nuetral rev it up, now put it in first gear and and with the clutch pressed in all the way rev your engine again. If you notice that your engined reved faster with it in neutral then your clutch isnt disengaging completely. Simply adjust the clutch pedal. If you dont notice a difference then its most likely your syncros. If its the syncros then pik up a used tranny, about $90 down here.

I have had some tranmission problems with some grinding (upshift and downshifting). Nothing to serious yet (that im aware of). But strangely enough, it feels alot better when its cold. Anyone have an explination? or am I crazy?

" But strangely enough, it feels alot better when its cold. Anyone have an explination? or am I crazy?"
maybe the tranny oil is thicker when its cold and helps the synchros out. "Mash the gas to the floor.

i know when i got my car,everytime i tried to shift from 1-2-3 at high rpm's id grind it terribly.and down shifting 4-3-2,like coming out of fast curves,it would either grind or not go.but i learned to match the reving,and now i can do whatever and no grinding

Match the engine spin ratio to the gear-driveline
Originally posted by truespin88 Double-clutch rev-matching is for cars without synchros. And drifting, for proper control. However... for street driving? Doesn't really make a difference. I don't, and I don't have a problem downshifting. Double-clutching is smarter driving and independent of the types of manual transmission, even helping a Tiptronic. Matching the driveline in upshift and especially downshift (lowering gear) is the work of a more precise and sporty operator/driver. After this skill becomes habit and background, try the difficult heel-toe braking while RPM-matching during downshifts. One may need to adjust clutch and brake assemblies to assist. But, each of us probably knows at least one synchro-smashing lazy-foot. |
