well to start off i have two T5's, one 87 4cyl unit with a busted third gear and cluster, the second is a 95 V8 unit with a bent mainshaft. I took everything off the 4cyl shaft and put those parts in one spot, then removed all the gears from the bent shaft(well, it was mostly disasembled and in bags already). I put all good gears, V8 syncro's(looked perfect), etc.. onto the straight 4cyl mainshaft. But i wasnt sure about the shims. I'm pretty sure i put them in the right places but no guarantees, i'm thinking i forgot to put a shim behind the 2nd gear syncro so now it doesn't have enough pressure to slow it down all the time, so it will grind if i dont granny shift. I had at least 1 or 2 extra shims from the V8 trans, but they could have gotten mixed up with the 4cyl parts so i'm not completely sure where they came from, any pointers? i will pull the trans tomorrow and inspect, Thanks for any opinions or facts
EDIT: if somebody could post a picture of the cluster and point out which gear and syncro are for 2nd gear i would really appreciate it, i dont want to change anything else but 2nd, 3rd never grinds no matter what
