Over the last week or so, I've had an issue with grinding, going into 4th and 5th gear.
5th seems to be just about all the time, but 4th seems to be only at high rpms while
up shifting AND most always when downshifting. This is kind of scaring me because
I'm sure we all have an idea of how expensive tranny work can be. I don't really beat
on the car, so I'm not sure why I'm having this issue.
This was beginning to happen BEFORE the driveshaft and tranny fluid swap, so I don't
think that work has anything to do with it.
I feel like there is a lot of play in the shifter, even when in gear. I wonder if my bushings
are shot. I do have a Kartboy shifter bushing kit (somewhere) in my box of parts at
home. I wonder if completing that swap might remedy the problem.
Any other ideas from you guys?
