hey does it not do it when it is warm?

my 5 spd did that when it was cold then it snapped the linkage :/

Mine does it also.
I have tired adjusting clutch to no avail.
I am going to try one of those box addatives before changing the entire box.

[motoboy]

it used to do it in the cold but now it does it all the time
u have to duble clutch it real slow with a tecnique to not let it grind but than i cant do quick gear changes ior anything its a bitch when theres hot chicks watchin u than they hear a grinding sound, real embarresing.lol

The spring inside you say, Pinkbitz. Which springs are they??????

[alan]

Your synchro ring on second is rooted.

And if you find springs in your gearbox, Pinkbitz, Ill give you $200 for each one.

There is actually 2 spings in the top of my 5 spd to hold the shilfter in the middle

[Kizza]

i got springs in mine, can i have $200 each, i think theres 3 of em

[alan]

Yep there is 3 of them - the detente springs. They have nothing to do with crunching though, they just ensure the ball bearing gets pushed into each depression, so you get a positive position when you shift. Now where do I send this $600 to? cash is it, or will you take an IOU? he he

i had a rebuilt gear box that did this. i only found out why when i changed motors that it had very little oil in it.
