i'm having trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd gear...feels like i'm grinding (w/o the grinding sound)...just wobbles a lot right before i shift to 2nd...
I think it may be bad synchros? How much to get it fixed? and should i take this one to the dealer for the work?

MazdaMike

synchros would be the opposite. u would get the grinding when u changed to the gear with the faulty syncro

MDoMe7

any ideas what could be causing this?

It might not be your tranny. Double check your engine mounts, your differential mounts, and your Power Plant Frame for cracks and or wear. If it's not grinding I'd check the whole system, before I assumed my tranny was bad. Does this happen in any other gear change? What year is your car? How many miles? Have you changed the tranny fluid recently? The cost of rebuild/replacement depends on where you go. Post more information and then we'll discuss tranny replacement/rebuilding after we know it's the problem.

the car is 95 pep...
43k miles on it...no racing no abuse
it only happens when i granny shift from 1st to 2nd...
and i think it's starting to slowly happen when i'm shifting to 3rd now...
but if i shift really fast...it goes in smoothly
i haven't changed the tranny fluid yet (only had the car for less than a year)...so i could try that first?

granny shiftin, not double clutchn' like ya shoulda!




ok, but really, switch to neo or redline and that might fix your problem.

i do double clutch
i thought double clutchin was just when you downshift?
match the revs right?
