SO i recently removed the T5 trans to install the clutch cable and replace the clutch release bearing and trans mount as well. WE did nothing to the internals of the transmission.
after everything is re-installed, second gear keeps popping out?
I had the internals rebuilt 3 years ago with the Ford racing synchronizer gear kit (about 10,000 miles ago).
I do not abuse this car, either. This only became an issue AFTER I re-installed the transmission and feel that something might no be aligned correctly?
Or perhaps a shift bushing in the shifter? Could a low trans fluid condition cause this?
Need some advice on where to start.
i WILL SAY THAT WHEN i WENT TO REBOLT THE TRANSMISSION, I had to cheat it about an inch to the side b/c it didnt want to bolt up exactly how it came out?(also had to reposition the dual exhaust as a result) could this be the issue? I'm gonna loosen up some engine mounts and examine the drivetrain alignment later this week.
