The synchros may be on their way out.
First step is to drain and refill your tranny with a good trnny fluid. The members of this board highly recoment Redline MT-90 or Royal Purple. You will need 2 quarts. You can find the Redline at a local speed shop, or on-line at Summit or Jegs. |
Also make sure you clutch hydraulics are in good shape and you don't have any play between the pedal and the clutch master cylinder.

A SS braided clutch line is a great upgrade for under 30 bucks.

You have a TII, and he has an N/A. I'm also going on memory here. Check your friendly FSM for exact specs. -a |

might even be the slave cyl-or gremlins :p
|
I needed a lil more than 2 quarts

this seems like basic know-how for all of you guys.. how does one go about adjusting the master/slave cylinders? And what do they do? i know what a clutch does and i understand the role a hydraulic cylinder would play in the system.. but two? man im jacking this thread. sorry.

I have the same problem with High RPM shifting. After changing to redline fluid I can only conlcude that my synchros are garbage.
My solution involves not taking the car that high in the RRRs.... ~Brave Blue Mice 86 GXL - Home Depot Speed Shop |

Look under your dash at the pedal assembly, there is a rod that connects to the pedal and pushes on the master cylinder piston. On that rod there is a nut you can loosen to extend the rod out to take all the slack out of the pedal. |
my car is to do that (grind when shifting at high RPM)
and I found out it was a bad pilot bearing it was really worn out no needles where left... |
i ahve the same problem. synchros are dead and im too poor to buy a tranny or replace synchros.
solution? double clutch:P |
my tranny is the same way, only grinds at high RPM's, but even if i double clutch it will grind, does this mean it might be something other than synchros? and how much does it cost to replace synchros?...
|
only place i have found that sells synchros is about $250 for the set, probably about $700-1k depending on if there is any hard parts damaged in the trans then it could be even higher. at a tranny shop would be $1300+ likely, there's still a few decent trannies floating around the wreckers and on ebay but there is always a gamble with used parts..
|
id rather gamble with used for around 100 instead of 1300+ for new...
